went and got my hair cut today

even drove there and home with my mom and girlfriend in the car. Though I felt like I was in survival mode the whole time. Even walked into the dollar tree with my girlfriend. There’s that part of my brain that knows none of this feels right and doesn’t make sense why I’m in this mode all the time but then the irrational mind takes back over. But hell atleast if this kills me I’ll have a good haircut.

Well done 👍

Good for you. You did it even though you really didn’t feel like it. Small steps can eventually take us where we want to go. Hope you’re looking sharp!!!🙂

There you go Adam...always find something funny about yourself to laugh at.It's okay to laugh at yourself. Of course I'd take away "at least if this kills me, i'd

have a good haircut"

The positive here is you drove, you got a haircut and you went to one of my favorite

places the Dollar Tree. (that was the first place I went after being Agoraphobic for 5 years)

Go Figure lol

Pat yourself on the back today. It was all a positive experience. Throw any negativity

you might have thought or felt, to the curb. It doesn't belong in your life. :) xx

You gave the anxiety the old one-two with that one. Good for you, fighting back. 😀 🤣

That's the spirit!

Like I said if you're going to be the first person to die of an anxiety attack might as well be living some sort of life or having fun.

Funny enough I'm thinking about getting my hair cut just want to find the right person to do it ☺️ cause a pixie cut can be so easy to mess up.

Anyways good job and the more times you go out, you'll see it gets easier.

Also not to be a Debbie Downer but you may hit a speed bump it happens to all people like us working our way back. Just got to remember that it's only a bad day. Nothing more. Dust yourself off and get back on that horse 🐎

I'm sure your haircut 💈 is fabulous!

Not what you're looking for?
