I hit a milestone tonight

I've never benched very much at all. Like, in my 20s 75lb was difficult.

Tonight my working sets were 115lb. As I got under the bar for the initial set, I felt trepidation. My last bench workout was not 112.5lb because I forgot my chains. I had to put some extra collars on, for an total weight of ~111lb. The last rep of each of those three sets was very difficult.

I forced any doubt from my mind and did my best to visualize the set, etc. They all went great.

In about 5 weeks I'll be benching 135 for my working sets.

Pretty stoked.

Well done.

Keep going.

I know the feeling. My bench is similarly weak, and every time I manage to add 2.5# it feels like party time.
We have a sissy benchers mutual support group open in the "Sissy bench race" thread.
You might want to have a look, and maybe join the race too.

Keep going
