Oh matey how fantastic. :D:D:D

I expect it was something to do with the power of thought coming from me (although the thoughts were more along the lines of how thrilled you'd be if you won a years supply of chickpeas):D:D:D

I must get a dog - then I would have someone to lay on pavements with. :D:D:D

Big well done sausage :D

Andrea, thankyou so much for the thread, I am so touched and you made me cry..............in a nice way though mate lol.

For everyone who doesn't know my agoraphobia really hit me again in the summer and I kinda sat back and let it take over, easy option eh !!

I told my girls on new years eve that 2007 was going to be our year and I was going to beat my anxiety and agoraphobia and start to live again not just exist, I am 40 in July and I am so not going to spend it sat indoors as I have hardly left the house in the last 3 months.

After 19 months of being single, I have met someone who is starting to turn my life around, he is fantastic with my girls and they already adore him and he is so very understanding of my anxiety and agoraphobia and really does give me encouragement to succeed.

Yesterday Ian and my youngest daughter were in the back alley playing football and I decided to suprise them by walking around the block with the puppy, and bloody hell it worked lol they couldn't believe it, and I didn't feel anxious or panicky at all.

Today was even better, I went into the co-op with Ian, got what we needed stood in the queue and paid, then calmly walked back out again.......no anxiety, no panic. I felt so good I suggested a walk along the beach.........get me eh lol, it was dark the wind was howling and it was bloody freezing , but it felt brilliant to just be there.

When we got home Ian told my girls what I had done and how proud of me he was, and to see the looks on all their faces just so gives me the encouragement to really do this, they are sooo proud of their mum today :D

I know I am going to have blips, and I know it isn't going to be easy, but from now on 'I can't' doesnt exist it is being replaced with 'I can and I will'.

Thankyou everyone for your encouragement and lovely words, and to my bestest mate Nic, I will be up to see you this year you just wait and see, cause I owe you a huge hug in person for all the nagging you do to try to motivate me, I know you care mate and that really does mean the world to me thankyou.

Lots of love

Trac xxx

Hi all,

Thankyou so much for all your kind replies, thats the brilliant thing about NMP we all understand one another, if you told someone who doesn't suffer with anxiety/agoraphobia that you walked around the block, or went to the shop, you get the 'erm yeah and?' look, but everyone here knows what a big success it is when we achieve something that others may see as the normal everyday things that they don't bat an eyelid at doing.

At the minute I am busy getting myself back into a routine, up at 7 am even if I have not slept much, and making sure I keep myself busy all day. I am making sure I am leaving the house everyday, even if it is just to walk around the block with Kai (puppy).

I am going to start to set myself some goals as from this week, nothing to scary at first though lol, and once I have managed to achieve those goals with out feeling at all anxious I will then start to make them a bit more difficult.

My eldest daughter came home yesterday with a beautiful bunch of roses for me, 'for trying so hard this week' she said, and that makes me even more determined now to do this.

Well keep you all updated as to my progress.

Take care

Trac xxx
