I Went Outside

[Hopeful1989]

I was feeling so good today that I decided to go walking. I needed milk anyway so I walked the long way to the store. I was tense for most of the walk, every car made me nervous so I stayed away from the main street. I was outside by myself for an hour and fifteen minutes. And I began cooking dinner for tonight. I feel so good...I think the anti-depressants are starting to do their job. I have been functioning today and I am so happy and excited!!!!! I have therapy tomorrow and I can't wait to tell her about today.

YAY! Going outside IS a big accomplishment! I remember when I was shut up in my apartment for months because my anxiety was so bad. It was a huge deal for me to just walk a few blocks to Walgreens. KUTGW.

I was exhausted when I got home from being tensed up and anxious, but it was worth it for the sense of accomplishment I felt.
