Realizing something important

43 Replies

I called myself a failure today after another failed attempt to get to the park. That was wrong. I didn't give myself enough credit. I actually left home walked a long distance even if my head was telling me to go back and my chest felt tight and i could barely breathe i kept on walking i didn't make it to the park but i actually saw the park even if it was from a distance. Things went wrong after i turned around and saw how far i was from my safe zone and fear overpowered me.... i didn't realize how much progress I've made. Months ago I couldn't even get to the sidewalk and look at me now

That is so true. Good on you for seeing today for what it was. I remember our conversation about taking those first steps and I have followed you since then.

I am so proud that you understand what you have down today. You will get there.

I am smiling at the success you have had and that you have realized that success.

Take care and keep going.

Well done, when you're walking to the park next time and the bad feelings come say to your self: "So the agrophobic feeling is there. So what? Who cares? I'm still going to walk to the park even if I feel anxious. Why not? I don't care about the bad feeling, I'll put up with it! Why not? S*d you, I'm still going to the park, I just don't care, why should I." Keep saying stuff like that in your own words and eventually you will come to believe it.

in reply to Jeff1943

Yess that's exactly what im going to do next time. I still kept on walking even when my mind was telling me to go back

failure? I dont think so! U got out of the house didnt u? accomplishment right there. give yourself no restrictions or no boundries. There is nothing in your life to keep u for doing whatever u want! Take small steps everyday and let it become routine! After awhile, do something extra here and there. There is no award for doing anything but to tell yourself I will do what I want whenever I want. I was anxious today when I went for a long walk and short breaths at first. But, by the time I got to 2 miles or so, I was breathing normally and feeling normal. Get past that boundry in your head without a thought! U CAN DO IT!!

in reply to Mark1256

Im getting my mind use to being outside the comfort place. Walking everyday till i can actually stop being anxious

I'm so sorry this has happened .. I too deal with this ... I too do not give myself enough credit for things .. so make a list every morning when I wake up what I are greatfull for and when u go to bed. Hopefully this will help you a little .. your great and u do deserve all the good things I'm life , and u deserve to be happy .

Good for you for getting out there and doing what you could to the best of your ability. Keep up the great work and maybe keep a daily log of each good thing you do (big or small) to see how much you are improving over time :) keep up the great work
