OK. I'm about to step outside the front door. I haven't been out for seven weeks. The anxiety is firmly set in. The shakes the sweats the fear the blurred vision But I have to do it.
Wish me luck that I don't step in dog shit and could you send some positivity my way so i dont get twenty steps and turn back
Please  |

You smashed that. 1561 steps. Thats a significant adventure and you should be very proud of yourself.
I know the feeling where the world beyond the door creates so much mental trauma.
You can do it, you did it. You survived. You will survive again too.

Thanks peeps, I've been struggling with it way way way before Covid was announced but still pushed myself to go to the local shop for electric and gas and then it all happened so i stopped. And just opening the door for online food shop or parcels i have had to count out loud as something to focus on and not the door being open.
But I can't do that anymore, can't feel like use walls are closing in.
So thank you again
This place/forums can have it's ups and downs, it makes me laugh out loud though, all completely batty! but sometimes the kindness of strangers overwhelms me ?? |

"Just seen this. How did it go, OP? Hopefully you did manage to get out a bit? Sending best wishes that you are able to move forward "
I did. 6am noone's about. Got my energy voucher last night so was determined this morning to make the walk. Head down, counted the steps, in the shop, gals behind the counter know I'm like this so let me sit on the kick stool while I breathe out my 'panic' then count the steps back home. Door bolted. Cry. Breathe it out. Then the good feeling comes. Haha not that you wanted to know alllll that. But thanks for asking x |

That sounds like a positive trip out, even if it involved a bit of crying. Keep on keeping on |

I hope you really let the pride in your courage sink in.
This is a big news day. Doesn’t matter how you felt or how it went but you did it.
I don’t know you but that takes massive lady balls.

I did it |

Yes I am bumping my own thread, no its not to get attention as I am lacking, I don't want it lol.
It's September. Months from when I took that shaky first step out the door and I am proud of getting walks in each month. I was going early morning and have done a few late as its dark and there's no one around. I've done a couple of walks at this time to get out of my comfort zone as its light out but have been scared back in from kids being, well, kids.
I won't put headphones in as I need to be aware of what is going on around me but
I need some positivity please, something to tell myself, maybe a mantra? Or something that will help because I haven't been out because of the heat but now its cooler tonight
I want to go for a walk now and there's kids outside
Any advice please  |

Wrap a hair band round your arm for distraction twanging and walk straight past them, ignoring them, fake chatting on your phone can help focus your attention away from them, kids seek reactions, be boring and they soon bugger off, older kids are a different Kettle of fish though. Good luck OP |

Omg it works
I played with the band while I walked past them and didn't focus on them and the mucking about they did. On the way back they were still loud and mucking but I focused again on the band
And now home and emotional as always  |

This is epic, I have similar issues. You can get rings that have beads on them to play with when your feeling anxious. Hair bands are good and do use them, but I found the rings a bit more discrete. |
