Out for lunch with mum

Today I’ve been to meet my mum for lunch, I felt quite apprehensive as it is quite a journey from home and as I don’t drive I would have to take public transport and It’s the furthest away from home I have been for weeks. I started the usual “what ifs” whilst getting dressed to go as I usually do and then something snapped in me and I thought to myself I’m not doing this to myself right now I’m gonna go enjoy my lunch and take this anxiety along with me and accept it’s there. My first challenge of acceptence, It wasn’t easy but I did it and I feel quite proud of myself 😀

Good for you. I'll be damned if anxiety is going to determine my life for he too.

amanda19608, You did great and you have every reason to be proud of yourself. What an accomplishment. You took that step out of your comfort zone. I know it wasn't pleasant while doing it, but you called the Anxiety Monster's Bluff and he backed down. You took control of your life. One step at a time and he will run like the coward he is.

Continue enjoying the good feeling of having some power back today. "High Five" :) xx
