Thank you Kairen....

I know deep down I should try to go today, im just so scared at the thought that I dont know the building im going to and that i will be focusing so hard on not passing out that I wont be able to take anything in they say.

My dads gonna wait outside the building in the car for me....I guess I will do it and if i feel ill i'll just leave.........

It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.

Hi guys

Thanks for your words of encouragement earlier...

Mum and dad picked me up but when we got outside the building it was really busy as quite a walk and i just couldnt bring myself to do it [V]

My mum went in an explained how I was and they were completly fine and understanding, they've prob come across this before , so they've said theres no pressure and they leave it 2-3 moths, but if im still not ready then thats fine.

I was really down about it afterwards but i really worked myself up about it and i dont realyl think i was ready to do this just yet...but I cant blame myself for how I am feeling so ive not let it get to me for the rest of today....im just releved they were so understanding!

hi tatty well at least you tried, :D I think people are a lot more understanding now about things like this, than they used to be, never mind put it to the back of your mind until next time, maybe next time you will have it in your head about how nice they were and the building wont seem so strange and u will be ok you need to really chill out tonight and relax cos you will be drained after your day

take care honey xxx

hi tatty,

Don't beat yourself up about not going. You weren't ready yet but you will be one day soon. I'm glad that they were very understanding about it - that's useful! It's also good that they haven't put you under any pressure to go soon so you can just take things slowly and work yourself up to it..

Thanks Sarah

I was a bit gutted as this past week ive been able to do more than i have been able to in a long while ... but I suppose I need to take it slowly as its not all gonna be able to happen at once.

Went out for a drink for the first time in months with 3 close mates last nite, just to a local pub and sat outside where i was more comfortable ( think irelaxed after about an hour!) but at least I did it and for a few hours, so i just make myself look back on the great week or so ive had...and today was just a minor blip, which i will be able to conquour one day!!:D

Hi Tatty
At least you realised that today was a "blip" and next time you'll do even better.
Great news to hear that you went out for a drink that in itself is an achievement :D.
Take care

Tatty

You have had some really good times and today wasnt one of them. That doesnt mean you have failed it meant you judged how you felt and didnt want to push yourself too much to the extent where it would make you worse.

You know you will be able to do it one day and you take your time on that.

Love Sal xx


Dont mess up the best things in your life, just because at present you are unsure who you are.
