    A new focus

    My OH bought me a puppy on Sunday. To give my other dog a break the puppy needs walking. I walked him on Sunday when it was dark. He got 3 walks on Monday, including one at a time when the local kids were walking to school. Unfortunately due to an illness yesterday on my part the puppy had to make do with the garden. And as I wasn't feeling too good today he didn't get a walk until this evening. The puppy seems to have eased my anxiety a bit. I don't think my OH realises how therapeutic this puppy is. My other dog doesn't do walks, she never has.

    I am also becoming more confident with my driving, but I don't go to far afield at the moment. I need to know that I can get home if need be. I also managed to go to my friends for coffee on Monday, something I haven't been able to do since July.

    All these small steps are encouraging me to keep going.

    Hi Knightbabe.

    I'm so happy you got a new puppy and are able to take him out on walks. I just love animals and think they are so helpful to those of us with anxiety and even without. I just love my little pup to death.

    Also, great going on the small steps although they seem like big ones to me.

    Love,

    Laura

    Re: A new focus

    Thankyou everyone. I took a major step for me today. I went to the opticians - been putting it off. Although I didn't go alone I went with OH but I had to sit in waiting room for 15 mins whilst he had his eyes done. I survived. I also have my new glasses which I can actually see with as well!!
