Hi Folks,

As some of you know ive been very agarophobic for some time now. I was a big poorly recently and on Saturday, i had to go down to the hospital for a couple of hours, i thought i would panic like mad but for some reason, i didn't.

Even though my health anxiety is still through the roof with everything that has happened, i got to thinking, if i can be put in a situation like having to go down to the hospital without having a choice in the matter and getting through that ok, then surely.....just surely, i can start pushing myself a bit, none of this around the block, or walking Ben 2 minutes to school. so.......

I just took myself on a little walk, to my local shop. only about 6 min walk there and back, but i just strolled there, got a bit edgy at the shop door as i was about to go in, but thought, if i have made it this bleedin far then i'm damn sure i ain't gonna run now. so i went in, got me cat food a treat for Ben, paid and then walked slowly home again :yahoo:.


I'm determind i have to do this, not coz someone says i have to, sets me a list of things to do, but for ME.

Just thought i'd share :biggrin:


Love Lisa

Lisa I totally relate to this and feel just the same about myself.

I too have had a difficult 6 months or so and way too much stress one way or another but equally it has shown me that while I may have found going out difficult I have never the less managed it and I'm now able to build on it.

I had my first CBT session yesterday and this is exactly what my therapist said to me - all the things I have had to go out of the house for have sort of been forced exposure.

You keep going hun because every journery starts with but a single step doesn't it.

Well done :yesyes:

Love Piglet :flowers:
