Progress made

Managed to get out for a walk to the pharmacy to pick up my latest prescription. The walk is fairly long (about a mile round trip).

Learned from my mistakes last couple of times I went out for a walk and took an mp3 player to distract me in case I felt a funny turn coming on. Thankfully didn't.

Oh, I agree with Rose! Good for you. Keep up the good work. I'm trying to talk myself into going to the store today. :/

Thanks for the support :)

I hope you can summon the courage to go to the store like you wanted.

Didn't post at all yesterday, so thought I'd check in.

Had a positive day, managed to make the whole day without having to resort to taking a diazepam or a rescue remedy (some herbal drops a friend recommended). And it wasn't because I had to resist the urge or felt the need to either, I just felt good. Went out for a couple of hours in the evening round a friend's, was good.

Early plans have been made to go out for a few drinks on Saturday.

NC, go look in your mirror, tell that girl how fantastic she is, it's the truth, You are the Captain of your
ship and it will go where you tell it. Destraction is a great tool, mindfulness works this way for me. Peace

I'm not sure where you got the impression I was a girl, Larry, but it's a good idea nonetheless. Thanks.

But yes, confidence is growing. My family have noticed significant improvements over the past week or so, closer to the old me before I had these problems.

Awesome! Well done!
