Accountability Friends! :)

I want to start dealing with things a little bit better today.

 

[Definitely..maybe]

Today I got through an 8 hour class with strangers! I massaged and was massaged. During my lunch break I went to a half price book store and bought a workbook and a book on abuse!

Tonight I will work on my new workbook, do my massage school homework and my college classes homework!

I went boogie boarding and to a bush dance tonight.

I still need to do my DBT reading today, but did read 2 chapters of the parenting book last night. Really good stuff. Today I'm also going to walk with a new friend and try to beat this stress.

Went to therapy and had an upbeat session, went to grocery store with low stress, came home and took out trash in daytime (half social/ half paranoia challenge).

I went back out (been super isolating lately) to another store, and came home to enjoy my small "treats":
Cute pens (for journal) and some pizza.

I was brave, felt a tremendous amount of anxiety and went to my procedure.

Today I'm doing therapy (with the sad knowledge I can't afford any more double sessions) and will be talking to my therapist for the first time about one of my phobias.

I wanted to write a longer list of things to be accountable about, but I have a really busy day ahead of me, homework due and company coming for dinner, plus I have to straighten up the house, run to the grocery store and do a little cooking to prep, all while working an 11 hour day, so.... instead I'm remembering a phrase I like: "Forget your perfect offering" by Leonard Cohen, a reminder I don't need to be perfect, I don't need to push myself so hard. What I really need is a day off, sigh. :)

I'm going to use this as an accountability to get out and exercise. I'm not starting until next week. I'm waiting until my cold is completely over. Plus I'm trying to gear up my mind for it. Only a few people know, outside of here, how difficult it is for me to leave the house. Last week was great, I was out and about despite my cold and the cold, because of my appointments. This week has been sitting at home recouping. I need to get out. Just because I don't see my therapist, and won't for awhile, doesn't mean I should start isolating myself again. Especially since we are cutting out one of the meds that helped. Exercise would be good for my health. Anxiety, here I come!

 

[untiltoday]

I'm going to make a point to leave home at LEAST every other day.

And attached to this, I am wanting to start walking around the park across from my complex...just having a little trouble (why I've never liked walking) with anxiety of running into people while walking, or simply just feeling "watched" for no reason.

Maybe I can start tomorrow, by just walking to the park and sitting in the sun.

I went volunteering and then to a night out at the Illawarra Folk Festival.

I will learn to make my own decisions and not just put them off and let others (or circumstances) choose for me.

I went to the doctors yesterday and got a psychiatrist referral, it was the first time I got out out bed to go outside for weeks.
