I went to the deli today and this time I went in.
I also went and got my hair cut. I think that desensitization and pacing myself worked today. I can do it. I might have other bad days, but I look forward to more and more good ones now. Billi

that's very good to hear, keep pacing yourself is great advice that I think we can all use when related to anxiety.

Way to go! Progress makes me happy even if it's not my own. You give me hope I can make some progress myself soon.

thanks!
Tonight I went to my weekly NAMI group (National Alliance on Mental Illness) and I was anxious cause there were many ppl there tonight. Also ppl I did not know and ppl who were a little intimidating. For a while I kind of withdrew into myself. Then, I realized that I could still participate, even though I was scared. So I did. I shared about my recovery and my empowerment in the mental health system. I shared about how difficult it was to get therapy and yet I was doing okay. I shared that I was angry but that I was not suicidal or freaking out. I realize today that my social anxiety stems directly from my ptsd (you may see my profile for details on my history). When I overcome that, I will run rings around it. I will. I know it. Billi

My mentor has given me wise advice about that desensitization and pacing.
I am so grateful to him. B.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
