...to smile about.
Over the last year my mental health has deteriorated to such an extent that leaving the house has become very difficult. Can't shop, can't do anything!
My mother went away for a week so until today i had not left the house for 9 days, which i really wasn't bothered about. I was quite comfortable sitting there....doing nothing. Today, i HAD to do my grocery shopping. Last night i was anxious about it, but this morning i was fine.
...long story short (because i can go on...), i went shopping with mum, i drove my car, i walked around town........AND.....i had my hair cut too. I've not sat in a hairdressers (even when my son has had his done) for months and months and months. My hair had got so long and looked so dead, dry and crap that i couldn't leave it like that anymore!!!! I had a whopping 9 inches off...i now have a rather sleak little bob.
Today, i am proud.
Not getting too confident, because we know what this illness is like...:lac:
