Long post. #itsoktonotbeok #mentalhealth
So my telephone assessment for our local psycho-therapies has been moved forward from July to next Friday! A sad state of affairs I was having to wait 5 months in the first place (but that's a whole other story)...
Today I took a massive step. At my worst I was accused of putting cans of energy drink in my bag in the local shop and they suggested when I went back in because I forgot butter that I had stolen them. I was ill (mentally and physically) and had put them in whilst getting my purse out.. realised how it would look and put them back on the shelf and didnt buy any and bought other goods.
I went into that shop today for the first time in 5 months. Head held high. Heart beating like a drum. I felt sick and anxious.
But I did it. Not only did i go in, i bought something. And the world didnt fall apart around me. I've got this. 💪👍
Only 2 people know about this and the stuffle I've had for the past 5 months going into ANY shop.
Thank you for reading if you got this far... I just wanted to share with someone...
