I got out of my bedroom today. I sat on the patio. I know that may not seem like much but for so long I have been so scared that If I went outside alone something bad would happen, but I did it. I took a shower and told myself I was safe to sit alone on the patio and I did!

That's brilliant well done. Keep on doing this and when you feel up to it go a bit further each time. If you get scared then just back track to a comfortable level and keep trying. You will get there in the end.

Good for you! That is wonderful. These things may not seem like much to people who don't have anxiety, but for those of us who do, we understand that they are significant accomplishments. I hope that you are able to do it again and again until it feels natural. Blessings to you!

One step at a time is what it takes! No matter how many baby steps it takes to get your life back. Any stride forward is something to be proud of! Keep up the good work!

Great to hear this. It's a big step for you.

Well done!

Hooray! That's great! Well done. I know it's hard, but you did it! Thank you for posting, because your post inspired me today. I'm going to get up, shower, and go for a small walk in my yard. Thank you, truly.
