(waving hand up high)

Yep. I really have trouble with this. I've had some therapy that has helped some bit. I can at least go out in public now whereas before these thoughts were powerful enough at times to prevent me.

Still, I am constantly running through a checklist: am I walking funny? is my hair okay? etc, etc. In my case my inner voice is often that of my mom chastizing me for not being good enough, for walking funny, for having ridiculous hair, people will think I'm shabby, people will know I'm mentally ill.....
