Thank you for all you do. This really made difference in my perception of where I’ve been, where I am trying to go and the misconception that I’m not working hard enough.

Oh my gosh...I really love this! As a self-shamer and self-flaggelater, I needed to read this just now. Thank you!

We should start a flaggelator's club.

Thanks, Lily!

Thank you for your comics and posts. I also found you through Dan Piraro's recommendation and love your sharing and perspective. I've recently come to the realization (at this late date and after a lifetime thinking and being told that I was just anxious or depressed or borderline or bipolar, none of which really seemed to fit or explain anything) that I actually have always (since infancy) had CPTSD, which explains a lot. A quote I love is "It is never too late to be what you might have been" (George Eliot), which I know to be true.
