  2. Don't discuss specific plans to injure or kill yourself or others. Discussion of general ideation is acceptable. Got something AWFUL to say? Try c/VoidScreaming
  3. Avoid requesting or giving medical advice beyond personal experience. Describing how you personally managed a medication side effect, for instance, is fine.

How do you celebrate your own accomplishments? (lemmy.ml)

I recently managed to find a new place to live and it was not an easy task. Even though the move isn't over yet, I felt like I deserve a small celebration.

This is a new line of thinking for me though. Very often when I had accomplished something in life, I didn't feel like celebrating. It felt like it was to be expected and now its accomplished, so why give it another thought?

It feels nice to celebrate my own accomplishments though. I've rewarded myself with a tasty meal at a restaurant and enjoyed it a lot.

How are you celebrating your own accomplishments?

Congrats on finding a new place to live! I acknowledge the little and big wins by giving myself a small treat - whether it’s yummy food or a buying something I’ve been eyeing - but it’s usually food. :)

Thank you! Yes, for me it's also often food cause I love to eat but not to cook :P
