Baby Steps

Hello everyone! I hope you are doing well.

So this last week I have been going to group therapy.  The last time I did it, I went to the sessions about 2-3 days a week, This week I did Monday through Friday. By the end of the week, I felt like I had spent the night walking through an amusement park. Mom said I didn't look well, but I just felt tired.

I really pushed myself hard this week on a mental and emotional level. I opened up to my case manager, I saw a new therapist, and I forced myself to stay in a situation that a few hours before caused me to have an anxiety attack. Therapists that I talked to were right when that said that getting better from this is difficult. But I want to feel better, so I am going to keep trying.

There are a lot of things I struggle with in my life right now. I got overwhelmed by them all, but it is easier if you try to handle one thing at a time. So I was given the goal this weekend to try and get out of the house and draw something. The big goal was to walk to the park and have lunch there. I wish I had a bike so traveling is a bit easier on the legs, but I believe that I can do it. I have made the walk before, so I can do it again. However, it also depends on how I feel. Things can happen.  However, I just want to focus on the positive as much as I can.

Is there something that you have a hard time with? How can you break it down into baby steps to make it easier on you? I believe you can do it if you want to and you try your hardest. Until next week.
