Re: Agoraphobia - The Diary
Wow im made up so many of you have decided to join the thread, thats pure motivation in itself, so thankyou all
Becky, how well did you do eh ???? thats brilliant, i totally relate to how it makes us so much worse if we sit about and think about it before doing it, hell ive been known to walk down the street in me pink fluffy slippers, purely because ive just suddenly felt the need to try it there and then, (ive just realised now why the neighbours always look at my feet as i leave the house now lol) Well you proved nothing was going to happen to you by going out the front door so now remind yourself of this and work with it, dont push yourself too far to fast, even making it out the front door is a huge achievement so do what you feel you can, and carry on with that until you can do it comfortably, then do a few steps more, way to go mate
Nicki, thats excellent that your managing to get out of the house alone now, I find if i look for something to focus on ahead of me I can ignore anything else thats going on around me, have a few practices before monday even if it is just walking to the next house and back, the more you do it the easier it becomes, let us know how you get on
Bluebell, good luck for today mate, hope it goes well for you and rememeber focus on your son and you will forget the anxiety
Purplehaze, its great you have a friend you can meet to go walking with, having the support is a great help, and its brilliant you are able to walk there alone
Lisa, thanks mate xxx excuse me how can you say you havent done much today lol what you have done today would have taken me a week to just pluck up the courage to try lol, good luck with the shopping tomorrow, I think ive forgotten what the inside of a supermarket looks like for the time being lol, let us know how it goes mate
Well I for one wont be doing my walk later in my fluffy slippers as its windy and raining here, trainers and an umbrella me thinks for later ............. hmm thats if me brolly hasnt seized from lack of use lol, will post once I have been later and let you know how it goes .......... one thing ive noticed today though I do seem to be more energetic, maybe i was starting to seize up along with me brolly lol
Lots of love
Trac xxxx
