Forced myself out last night to meet someone new.

I have terrible anxiety at the moment especially in the morning. I thought I couldn't cope with life any more but I surprised myself last night and started a new friendship with a prospective partner. We had such a lovely time together and I was thinking of cancelling. I'm so pleased I faced my anxiety. I did have help in the daytime I did an hour relaxation therapy at my local mental health centre. Someone suggested I put off the meeting because I was shaking in the morning. I'm so glad I challenged my fear and the results were better than expected. I really needed someone new in my life and hopefully this person will be it. I told myself before hand not to expect anything and am still aware it is early days and am still trying not to expect too much. However the joy I experienced last night was worth it even if nothing else happens although I'm quite sure it will. I still had anxiety this morning but it was a little easier to deal with and I am filled with good feelings about this person.

That is just lovely news I'm so pleased for you and do hope something comes of it for you. I guess even if it doesn't you can feel pleased that this is something that is not impossible and it gives you hope.

Let us know how it goes, that is if you want to share it.

Thanks for sharing this :)

Fantastic news :)

So pleased you did not cancel and i believe in fate it was meant to be you attending and hopefully meeting someone that can divert you from anxiety. Hopefully this will make you more confident. Glad you had a great time.

Wish you all the luck

Hugs

Hey be very proud of yourself. You went and met someone when you really felt that you couldn't. A potential relationship is nerve racking at the best of times. Whatever happens you know you can do this now. Way to go...... X
