This is a beautiful post. Grateful to you for allowing us to share in your achievement. 2 years is incredible, but what is better is the journey that you have obviously been on.
Inspirational.

Thanks Tony! It feels so good to be able to share this now with everyone. Really made my day so read all the replies here. Many thanks!

I have come to a point where I can ask a different question: who am I, what do I want? not: what happened to me. I thought the day would never come. that I am becoming my own person.

Can I have a massive AMEN to that? Yes I can. Thanks so much for being part of this community. I’ve come at about the same point in my life and in my journey just now. Thanks to therapy. Thanks to working my shit. Thanks to all the people here. Thanks to you. You ARE special girl. In the very best of ways. I’m so grateful to have met you here. Huge congrats. Big hugs. Love.

Thanks @Mno ! Right back at you. The thread you started recently was one of my absolute favourites ever. Got so much out of it. The real deal. Happy to be here with you!

@Faugxh

have finally learnt the lesson that setting yourself apart in self-deprecation and self-loathing is still setting yourself apart.

Yes!!!
Huge lesson for me too.

Congrats on your 2 years of recovery. So happy for you.

You are fucking amazing Faugxh
I was actually sad to see your share end. I wanted more. I’ve never read anything so powerful and insightful. You’re so freaking smart.

@Faugxh

but to all the people who feel they are so far away from implementing positive attitudes, developing self worth, self-affirmative forces in themselves: you are not broken forever!

This part is very eye opening. I’ve never seen anyone point this out to me before. Appreciate it.

I’m beyond so very happy for you. And so glad you are part of the TS family.

Happy 2 Year Birthday To You !!!

my flat was a mess. there was literally a corridor in the bedroom so we could get to the bed. the living room we could not use, apart from a small area for a barbell.
Now I have some two dozen house plants. I renovated my flat and build a lot of shelves and a table even. we have a weight station. two dogs live here and have space to play. in my kitchen I make cakes I sell at work. it’s clean and functional enough for that. it’s a home.

This gives me hope that some day, I’ll be able to live on my own. A fear that’s been very present for me is that I’ll never be able to. I’m very happy to have met you, because you are a fantastic person
Congrats on 2 years, I never doubted you

[Faugxh]

Thank you, sweet Jan! It’s been great seeing you grow on here as well!

@anon57836609

This gives me hope that some day, I’ll be able to live on my own.

This makes me happy. You can have all the hope, it’s very justified.

[Tomek]

Congratulations on two years! I’m really happy for you and for the things you so sensitively wrote about in this post.
Thank you for being close!

[Faugxh]
