Hi, well i would just like to post that ive eventually got a place on a stress management course, so i would like to post on here how i get on a weekly basis, i will be starting it on Monday morning which isnt far from where i live (thank god), i can feel myself getting a bit nervous even just now, but i will go, plus aswell im starting relaxation and aromatherapy on tuesday morning, please keep your fingers crossed for me that these will work for me, as i really dont know what else to do to help my agoraphobia and anxiety.

i have progressed in the last year or so, coz i can get to the local shop and walking the dogs, but i cant seem to get out my area where i live myself unless someone is with me, or i will just go into major panic attack mode.

i would also like to post im going for my first computing test to college on wednesday night, im doing ECDL open learning, so wish me luck for that, and hopefully soon i will go for my driving test again coz i failed my theory about a month ago, (anybody got any hints on driving tests please come and speak to me cause ive got a problem with the hazard tests).

Hope ive posted all this in the right place here

Take care all
love lucy xx [xx(]

Isn't it great that your taking these steps. I have been on a stress management course in the past, and it taught me some positive things.

Also good luck on your computer course.

Well done!

Well done Lucy. I think you will go from strength to strength.

Doing this course was a bit of a turning point for me. Like you, I found it very helpful to talk to others in the same position.

Hope you enjoy the rest of the course.

Cheers,
Trev

Well done Lucy:D

I'm starting my stress management course on Thursday evening and I'm really nervous. I've already gone through the 'maybe I won't go' in my head but I'm determined to go now. Everyone says how helpful it is so I would be mad not to.

Hope I feel as positive as you when I've been for my first session!

Hi there Lucy:D

I'm really sorry to hear you failed your ECDL test, but to have failed by just 5% is nothing to feel bad about. You did really well and had the confidence to go ahead and try for it. Don't let this set you back. Don't see these things as failures, you are being a success because you are going out there and trying to do these things. There are a lot of us that wouldn't have bothered even trying. If your having a bad day today, that's fine, let it all out and tomorrow is another day. Keep moving forward and well done for trying. I'm thinking of you and take care.
PM me anytime for a chat.

hi lucy,

brilliant stopping smoking.
you was only just below the pass mark - 5%, that deflated feeling will pass and you'll see yourself passing soon enough, good luck next time.
stay positive for the driving, good luck with that .. tc andrew

Hi Lucy,

Never mind hun we don't always get the result we want but never mind about that, you tried and that's what counts. Give it another go and another if need be.

I've done the clait course and had to retake a couple of sections.

Love Piglet:)

Hello guys, i had a slip up with the smoking on friday night, had a few drinks then bang, decided to buy fags, anyway im back off them now again, back to 3 days off them again.[Oops!]

Anyway, stress management course today again [OK], went really well considering i really didnt feel like going, but i did, and i felt good after it, we were talking about assertiveness and taking control of our lives., and peoples behaviour,(not about my behavious ofcourse, but taking control of my life lol) so yes it gave me something to think about. i had to get a taxi to it, but one of my goals is to walk to the place, i felt gutted with myself coz of geting taxi, but then i said to myself "Stop right there i will do it one day walk to the centre".

The centre has a fitness gym inside it and one of the girls asked me if i would like to join the gym with her, so i said yes, but maybe arrange something in a couple of weeks and join it, so thats something positive to consider.

Regarding me being agoraphobic i just pray to god that all this that im doing helps me to get back out there again. jumping on buses, going shopping etc, by myself, because i really dont want to be like this all my life.

Going for my resit test at college on wednesday night, so i will let yous know how i get on with that. [Sigh...]

Take care all
Love lucy xxx

Lucy,

You are doing so well, who cares if you got a taxi, you got there.

I think you are a success for all the things you are aiming for whether or not you achieve all of them.

You keep trying and one day it will become easier.

Best of luck to you mate.:D

Love Piglet:)
