I got together with an old friend who I have not be able to see for 3 years because of terrible anxiety problems. I have had symptoms since Thurs. No sleep, gagging, anxiety. Talked to myself alot and didn't cancel and went through with it. Even though i had a couple of uneasy moments I got through it and I am so proud of my self. Hidden anxiety, fear of people, etc. Imazing how it can keep you in a jail. It felt real but it wasn't. I did it! ine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 Well, had an intersting night. Took a bus to Borders to knit with a group that meets every tuesday night. The bus driver tells me she went to far. So I get off and backtrack. Then I stop in a store and they tell me it is the opposite way. I must have walked about 4 miles. My back was hurting, I was tired but I didn't want to disappointed in myself. I used self talk- " you can do it! " Your legs are strong. You are strong. You are terrific. Just think how great you will feel when you get there " . Well I finally went there and because I was so tired when I got there there my social anxiety was gone. I introduced myself. I asked for each person's name and where they lived and what they were working. I was fine. I started working on something and one woman saw I had a problem and said let me help you. And when I left someone offered to take me home. What a success!! Finally!!! Needed to share! ine -------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 ine, This is GREAT! You didn't just turn around and go back home!! You ARE capable of doing things once you set your mind to them. You made new friends - had an adventure - and got some exercise too (I haven't walked that much in ages). Way to go girl!
