I had planned to meet a friend for a late lunch this afternoon. Unfortunately, I felt I had to cancel as this morning I was feeling so exhausted (I don't think gaming online until 2am with friends was a good idea).

But I bounced back this afternoon, as I went to a big supermarket this afternoon (not long got back home) with my sister to help with some shopping. Not something I was eagerly looking forward to as it's such a big public place with no idea how long I'd be there for.

Everything went smoothly. No panic attacks or excessive anxiety (there was some but it didn't really affect me). Took a herbal melt to help relax when I got home.

Possibly rearranged my late lunch for tomorrow. We shall see.

Awesome job, I love it that you are pushing yourself out of your comfort zone. You really are doing an amazing job. I hope you can go to your lunch tomorrow. :)

Just got back from an afternoon out with my friend. Had a bite to eat and some drinks, was out in public for about 4 hours in total. Way outside of my comfort zone, I even braved using public transport.

Feeling a little light headed, probably from the 2 pints of cider (I think I might have got a bit overconfident), but on the whole, I'm glad I did it. Just gonna chill and watch some comedy on Netflix I think.

Thanks. I think I'm definitely making progress, and I hope people reading my updates will feel inspired to gently push themselves.

Awesome job on going out to lunch today, you are a inspiration to so many here. I'm so proud of you for pushing yourself out of your comfort zone, I know I keep telling you that but it's true I am proud of you. :)

One day soon you'll be going out without even a thought about it, I know this day will come for you. :) Keep up the great work
