So I have been avoiding this coffee shop for a long time, I would only go if my fiance went with me. I had an anxiety attack where I thought everyone was staring at me and judging me so I just didn't go. If I did go, I sat outside and made him go in and get the coffee. ANYWAY!!!!! This morning, I was feeling pretty okay and I actually went in by myself, got my coffee, actually TALKED to the clerk and only had a mild tightening in my chest. This is a BIG step for me since everyother time I went I was mortified and paranoid. I am sooooooo happy. (Then I dumped 3/4 of it in my car because the plastic lid came off and the cup collapsed but I DID IT!!) I just had to share, since this is a major step in the right direction for me.

wow! good job!
when we fear something, all we have to do is face it. Keep trying in getting over it and we will eventually overcome it. We just need to be more courageous.

JUSTSIGNMEUP...... I did know that caffeine can trigger so I only go for about a cup a day which is why I was P.O.'d that it spilled all over. That is a huge cutback for me, but I have to have something to keep sane during the day. Waking up getting 2 boys outta bed and out the door so I can go to work and then running to work.......I can allow myself one hot steamy cup a day. I tried to nix it all together and I just wasn't functioning.
Thank you everyone for your kind words!!! Hope you are all having a GREAT!!! day everyone. |
