Impending Success!

[Cheshire]

This isn't so much an accomplishment (yet) as an impending accomplishment - lol.

There's an organisation in Perth, WA called Angel Hands that support people affected by homicide and serious personal crimes - don't know if anyone here has heard of them? They have a "Hope and Healing" night once a month, and I've finally gotten up the courage to go to one of these evenings. I'm totally proud of myself for this. Me? Leave the house? Socialise? What?? :eek:

Anyway, I'm hoping that just being with like-minded people actually in person might help me overcome some of my fears of leaving the house and being around people. I figure at least one person there probably has the same issues I have, or has had them in the past, so if I freak out, they'll get why.

This sounds amazing - well done you :tup:. Remember to take your time and breathe. I carry a small stone turtle which I can hold to help keep me grounded, maybe try something similar.

Big step! Congratulations! I facilitate grief and loss groups at a children's center (I facilitate the parents group) in MI and it helps a lot (both them and me). Share what you can when you can and let the group process help you. It works. Take care.

Cheshire I look forward to hearing about the accomplishment and your evening out. I am sure you will do well and probably even delight yourself as it will be a measure of your improvement..... well done in advance and keep up the great attitude!
