Well, I'm here, I'm just going to learn to deal with my anxiety about current world events and stop scrolling through news sites. That's my problem, not Facebook, or PsychCentral/MySupportForums, or anything like that. I have my Facebook feed filled with posts from cat groups so that's not stressing me out.

Anyway, I managed to walk to CVS today and pick up my meds. I was on the verge of panicking and feeling a bit paranoid but I managed to get there and back without a full blown panic attack. And in the end I felt better for having gone out. It's sunny today. It's cold though, we're getting 8-12 inches of snow throughout tonight and tomorrow.

I made some plans in my Microsoft to-do list/calendar to get me out of the house a bit next month. So I'm going to go to my friends house on one day. And on another day I'm going to walk to a local bookstore by myself, buy something, then stop at a place down the street to buy lunch/takeout for myself. They're supposed to have really good hotdogs so that's what I'm gonna get. Walking into a new place I've never been into to order food for myself is very difficult for me, so that will be good. I also will have to go grocery shopping a couple times (take the bus there), and walk to Family Dollar a few times to buy household essentials.
