Finally Made It To Week Four!!

Lesia,
It's been a few days. I am hoping your exposure went well and if it didn't, not to worry. There's always tomorrow. What works best for me is breaking it down into little steps and tackling them one at a time. Like starting with a good nights sleep the night before and focusing on one small part/task at a time while getting ready in the morning for my outside exposure..Like taking a long hot shower and such and so on..Doing it this way helps me keep my anxiety at bay..and long deep breaths too..Lots of those. Hope this helps in some way..
 
Just to let you everyone know, I still thinking about you all and hoping all is well..

How did it go? We are all hoping it went well, but if it didn't it is okay. Exposure can be tough. 
Stick with us, we are here for you.

Going to the dollar store sounds like a good goal. 

Looking forward to hearing about how it goes.

Finally made it to week four. I have been stressing trying to make sure I had my first few weeks down well enough to move on. Over the past couple of weeks we had some major life changes. I am now staying full time with mother n law to help her. She will be 81 next week, and is having a tough time alone. So I have been using my tools to keep my anixety down, but did not want to move forward if I wasn't ready. So I did a recap, and now I am in week four, and going to start work on my exposure work, so wish me luck tomorrow. I am going to try to make my first trip to the Dollar store alone with my daughter in years. Luckily where I live now it's only a couple of miles away, and I can't wait to tell her we are going alone!!! She is 12 so she is well aware I suffer from anxiety, and she is very supportive of her mommy!! I will be back tomorrow to tell you all how I did on my world wind adventure :)
