I’ve had a lot of problems over the years with anxiety and self confidence. It got so bad at one point that I couldn’t walk to the post box at the top of my street on my own.

Well today I went to Starbucks for lunch. On my own!! Had a sandwich and a coffee sitting inside.

I was a bit anxious but I did it. Sat for 20 minutes and watched the world go by. Not a lot for some people but huge for me 😊😊😊

Thank you. I am very proud of myself, and a bit emotional as well! But I suppose that is to be expected 😊

I have anxiety so know how difficult things that others see as “easy” can be.

Well done you! Hope you feel really proud and positive! Grin

Well done!!

I suffer huge anxiety and I made a phone call to the council on Tuesday. Huge step for me and it turned out to be good news too. So totally understand how much of an achievement that is for you.
