Celebrate your successes!

I got on the bus! I know how pathetic that sounds

Sounds like that's a big step for you, no small feat there. Congrats to you. (and no one here would count that as "pathetic" at all)

I got on the bus! I know how pathetic that sounds but I get so paranoid out in public. Anxiety plays up and I constantly feel like I'm being watched and judged and laughed at, so sitting on a bus surrounded by people is like hell. But I did it! A tiny success. Hell yeah.

I'd been getting taxi's everywhere so that I didn't have to be around people, which was costing me a tonne of money.

Not pathetic, every step forward counts.

I went to a karate basics class today and did well. I haven't done karate in 15 years but I am working on getting my cardio in and relearning techniques. I also want to get physically stronger for tai chi. Life is good when I work out.

I went out this afternoon to this beginning yoga/meditation challenge gathering starting up today and it was good. And I felt good being there after the first 15 minutes or so. And everyone of course introduced and shared for the hour and then I stayed afterwards for a couple of hours. With the owner, her mother (who is my age) and another teacher and we went deep. Healings and sharing and laughing and connecting and crying and lots of hugging and I felt like a normal human being. I felt like my old self. I didn't want to leave early, I engaged and had fun. No anxiety.....nice things were said. *grouphug

Hey, I had severe social anxiety, I know that wasn't easy.
Get better, one step at the time.

Finished my second day of employment. Tired, exhausted but health insurance and dental. Keeping myself from getting sick by lots of hand washing. Flu going around office...

Finally got myself to call about the decrease in my food stamps. It was quick and easy. They said it was a mistake in calculation as they’d forgotten to include my rent. I was told I’d get the amount I was owed for this month tomorrow and next month’s total should be back to normal.

Yay, way to go that is good news

I know it’s not a lot, but I managed to be more open and straightforward about my feelings! Someone was making me feel really upset and I explained clearly (it’s pretty hard for me to find the right words for things when I’m talking) why I was upset, and that helped me a lot
I also passed my math test! It was pretty hard so I’m proud!

Yay well done on both counts, congratulations. Education is so important and math is so hard I'm proud of you. Well done for opening up too, that is a way forward

Congrats! They're both a lot, you're doing great.
