"Veni, Vidi, Vici"

-

"I came, I saw, I conquered" 

This Latin phrase was quoted by my Latin teacher a couple of weeks ago, and I have not been able to get it out of my head since. I feel it suits ED sufferers quite well, regarding the everyday trials and tribulations we must overcome. After dealing with something that would have made me anxious or upset a few months ago, I have started saying this to myself as a way of congratulating myself for dealing with it, without having to admit that I "let myself win over the ED".

Also, it reminds me of something I said to a great friend of mine. Sometimes its good to help yourself through by imagining all of the people who care about you with you and rallying behind you as your own little army when dealing with a tough situation. This is why I feel this phrase fits, as it has a sort of military edge, and ties in well. 

What do you do to help yourself cope or congratulate yourself?

Yours,
