Shout yourself out!

Hello! Today has been one of those anxiety days.

Thought I'd share my little achievement of the day (and would love to hear others:)

Work let us off early today, spent several hours dreading/procrastinating on calling to make a health appointment. Eventually, I mustered up the gumption and made that appointment. One thing off of my forever-growing-to-do list!

Thanks! They really do. The anxiety makes me practice it in my head beforehand

Well done Dot! I was talking about phone calls in therapy recently and realized how wierd they are. If you have any troubles with emotions and want to read people's emotions you can't do that over the phone! I am going to make a phone call on the way home and see if I can get some friends from my treatment center to answer.

No, I picked Dot_ at random. No significant meaning other than wanting to be as anonymous. Which I guess in Morse code could make sense. I like that thought tho!

I made a phone call today. I also talked to DMV employees. I unfortunately failed my drivers test but I will be trying again on Friday. I’ve been applying to some jobs (my very first job) and I’m terrified but I will push through. I refuse to let anxiety be stronger than me. I just wish I could quit feeling so anxious all day every day. I cry a lot!

Hey, DAV's can be scary. Idk about you, but my local DMV has very stern workers that make the atmosphere stressful. I hope your next time for your drivers test goes better.

Remember, crying is ok! As long as you pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and continue on doing what's best for you:)
