My Success Today

[Tiger Kitten]

I went out for breakfast today and did not panic. I also ate my breakfast without scanning everyone and everything around me obviously. I went by myself. I even decided where I wanted to go to eat. It may not seem like a big success to anyone else, but I know what a success it was for me. Perhaps this new year will be much better than the last three. I have hope.

Congratulations! That is a big thing. I find myself distrustful of people around me when I go out, tending to listen to their conversations until hearing all of them at once overwhelms me, just for a possible warning. I'm so glad you could enjoy it and be relaxed. ^_^

Thank you. I wasn't totally relaxed, but I did not give myself whiplash scanning people though. :)

Hi Tiger Kitten,

Just wanted to add my congratulations. It is a big success to go out and mingle with people when you have anxiety issues.

Congrats TK!

Happy to hear that this was a successful experience for you. Going out alone was, and sometimes still is, difficult for me, especially eating alone in a restaurant where I feel all eyes are on me, so I know what it feels like.

Wishing you continued success in 2010...

Thank you all.

Sounds like a great personal achievement you have met for yourself Tiger... well done. Hard self work and goals is what certainly helps any of us achieve a new boundary. Keep up the great work.

I don't panic when I go out, but I'm much more comfortable when I stay home. Although I can only imagine what it's like for you, I know that I too have to fight isolating myself.

Congrats!
