5. I keep having to remind myself what I went through.

It's amazing how much we belittle our own suffering or trauma. So when I have days where I feel like I do very little I have to remind myself that I am healing...

It's difficult not to feel the guilty in some way for just allowing myself the space and the time.

Dishes are clean, cats are fed, bills are paid, so what am I worrying about?
