It's Just A Little Step But I'm So Proud!

It's not really a big thing but for the first time in over four years I went by myself to do groceries! My husband usually does them while I stay home with the baby but he was sick and we needed some things. Public places and crowds make me anxious, and going by myself just does not happen. But it had to be done so I sucked it up and went. :D I'm so proud of myself, I feel like I conquered something. Lol ok something little but celebrate the victories when we have them! :)

Congratulations on your giant step. You surely must have been ready to do it and did not know it. Celebrate big time.

Congratulations! It's a big step to face what you fear and what makes you anxious! You can be very proud of you! :-)

Congratulations. Sounds like a big step to me- grocery stores can be intimidating.

I cannot tell you how proud I am of every single one of you on this website admitting the horrors and pain you've suffered and reaching out to those of us who have experienced circumstances similar to yours.

However I'm finally relieved more than proud today or really this week. I found a psychologist that deals specifically with PTSD (non-military) and that I will finally start from the bottom and work my way up. I am so relieved that this will be a (here's hoping) a long term relationship that can help me with what I've got to tackle through. I know I have a huge battle ahead of me but I live with six ghosts. The worst thing that happens in my house is my cat Oscar getting his catnip toy and acting like a stooge on the bed trying to eat my toes after he's "toasted".
