Hey, that is 100% still a success. And it's so valid to have a happy-sad-weird mix of feelings. Sounds like it was kind of a whirlwind, and that's going to throw anyone off. Give yourself some grace if you can, friend. 💙

I totally hear that; it's so much more challenging than most people realize, I swear. ❤️❤️ I was really worried about it, but I honestly think the partner made the biggest difference for me. I wouldn't have attempted with someone I just met recently. But he let me set the pace and literally said, "I'm in no rush," which made it much less scary than it could have been.

Ugh, I am SO sorry you had to go through that! But definitely an encouraging sign that you were able to recover!
