Can I tell you something

I went outside today. It's been three years since I went out my front door.
I know it sounds like a silly little thing but it feels like a big thing that I should tell someone about and I don't have anyone to tell in real life. It was only for five minutes. The cold fresh air felt nice.

Your post has really made me smile, I’m so pleased for you. A massive well done.

BrightLightTonight · 17/01/2024 20:09

That is brilliant. Are you going to see if you can go outside again tomorrow for a few minutes?

If you do, please let us know xx

BlueGrey1 · 17/01/2024 20:11

Well done!!
Thats not a small silly little thing, that’s huge if you haven’t been outside the door in 3 years……and you even liked it!

What made you decide to take the plunge and go outside today, anything in particular?

Will you continue?

The outside world is good and going outside will do wonders for your mental and physical health

This is the best thing I have heard this year. Bloody well done you 👏

Pop back tomorrow and tell us that you have only gone and done it again!

Yozzer87 · 17/01/2024 20:14

Well done, you amazing strong human being. I can totally understand why people get to this point. And you have managed to turn things around for yourself. Good for you OP.

LauderSyme · 17/01/2024 20:14

Wow that's a HUGE thing. Well done you, you are amazing! What a journey you've been on.

I hope you feel that you can go out and feel the cold fresh air on your face again tomorrow, if you want to.
