It feels really good to get out & sit in the fresh air the summer not over yet you probably still get invites

Thank u!! It wasnt as easy as it was written but i pushed through!!

[Lucyf97 in reply to Gloria_carr]

No I know what you mean. I find it really hard sometimes to go out especially when there's going to be lots of people. I get really bad social anxiety. But you managed to do it so that's awesome! 😁

Thanks for sharing! Good reminder to myself, that others go through the same thing, it's not easy but don't let anxiety dictate what our lives are going to be! I need this reminder often!!!

[Gloria_carr in reply to jessanne]

I have my kids that pushes me! This isnt easy at all! Its kind of like performing in front of a big audience but there is no audience just u against aniexty & confronting it

[Windy101]

Hurray for you! I think you're terrific!

[Gloria_carr in reply to Windy101]

Why thank u! It wasnt easy but i did it & felt the need to share there is life beyond aniexty if we can push our self a little more

What a nice post. I just got back from a camping trip , and just communing with nature and getting out of reality for a little while was good.

Congratulations for deciding to go to the barbecue. It's always easier to stay home and you help overcome the anxiety by attending. You don't have to make a big impression and can do it without drinking and observing the others.
