Today I have successfully passed stage one of an interview process that is the the job at the end of three years of study... and, i am not ashamed to say, I am incredibly proud of myself for getting to this point.
So my question... what are you most proud of yourself for? |

This week I displayed awesome mum skills in the face of adversity. I showed my little cub that having a fierce lioness for a mama isn’t a bad thing and that we can get through absolutely anything as long as we stand together.
I’m proud of us. |

My son turning out well rounded, confident, caring, considerate, hard working and just awesome despite growing up in an environment that could have very easily created the total opposite.
Coming through the other side of an abusive relationship, complete mental breakdown and wanting to be a beacon of hope for anyone suffering that not only can you survive, you can flourish.
Yes you'll carry wounds and you'll never be the same, but the same you whilst in that situation isn't the you that you were before it... the REAL you. You can find the real you again, and you'll love yourself once more.

I only feel pride for my children and grandchildren's achievements;
I don't feel pride for myself.
Maybe because I haven't done anything to be proud of.

Congratulations! Fingers crossed for the rest.
I’m pleased that my houseplants are currently still alive. Even the maidenhair fern! |

I'm proud of a few things.
My children growing up to be fantastic adults & parents.
Giving up smoking over six years ago & being the incentive for my mum & a good friend to also give up & stay non smokers.
For getting out of a destructive, controlling & violent relationship & learning to love myself again. |

My greatest achievement is my two boys  and holding myself and my family together over the last twelve months. |

I'm proud of me. Not in a big headed way but how I've turned my life around from a total mess mentally to having a normal life. It's not been easy but I've done it. |

My kids. My eldest has struggled all through school with his autism but he smashed his GCSEs, smashing his way through college and has been accepted into his university of choice for September.
My middle one is off living the uni life at college in Brighton and makes me super proud (minus the bleached blonde green hairdo he has now  )
And my youngest, he is the kindest sweetest boy even though he too struggles with autism.
I can’t wait to see them next weekend, I haven’t seen the eldest two since Christmas properly so I’m stoked at this!

That was easy, and billions of other people managed it too. |

I trained my dachshund to sit, lie down and roll over.
Now to put that into perspective....”Being the owner of Dachshunds, to me a book on dog discipline becomes a volume of inspired humor. Every sentence is a riot. Some day, if I ever get a chance, I shall write a book, or warning, on the character and temperament of the Dachshund and why he can't be trained and shouldn't be. I would rather train a striped zebra to balance an Indian club than induce a Dachshund to heed my slightest command.” |

"I find the notion of being proud of conscious decisions you made to be slightly odd. "
What if someone makes a conscious decision to do something that scares them and manages it and are proud of themselves? |

Exactly like the butternut squash I bought earlier
Anything’s a butt plug if you’re brave enough  |

It can't have been that scary if they did it, can it?
If people want to be that self-indulgent, it's up to them, I suppose.

I'm incredibly proud of my son's. They are amazing and unique. I've raised them alone for 10 years now and I'm proud of our wee world. It may not be much to others but to me it's everything.

Having a sense of achievement isn't self-indulgent. I think it's vital for a good self-esteem. For some people even getting out of bed and facing the day is an achievement. Knowing you have done your best in the face of big challenges, whatever the outcome, should be a source of pride. |

It shouldn't be.
I'm in constant pain and am fighting a chronic condition, but if I allowed myself to feel a sense of achievement about normal stuff, ie getting up at 5.15 to walk my dogs before work, I'd be making it optional.

Agree to disagree then. I also have a lifelong condition and the average life expectancy for people with it is 58 because they kill themselves. I've fought very hard to learn how to manage the mental health problems that are inextricably linked to having my condition and I now have a life worth living. I'm very proud of that. |

My sons, extremely proud of them
At 25 and 23 they have grown from kind, sweet caring little boys who always worked hard at School, always looking to achieve.
Now my youngest is a game developer,my eldest bought his house at 23, got made redundant in his job. So, my boy being driven, and forward thinking spoke to his boss, had discussions and Friday signed an informal agreement to buy the business. Between his savings, his redundancy pay and a discount from his boss, he will own it from the 1st of May.

Surviving someone attempting to break me, mentally, physically and emotionally, for the past twenty five ish years of my life, especially the past twelve years of my life. Still got some healing to do and I might always have healing to do but I'm a survivor and not a victim. |

Im proud for a lot of reasons but im going to go with the fact that its been 14 years since i was last sectioned under the mental health act and 14 years since i last attempted suicide. The longest period in my entire life by a long way. |

That's a definite achievement and you should be proud of yourself. |
