This is my avoidance

I'm supposed to walk to the mail box. It's about 1.5 blocks away. 5 min walk 1 way. I'm avoiding it. Why? Turns out I have an anxiety disorder. HA! All those years I thought I was just REALLY shy. Nope. An actual disorder. Diagnosed by a professional I started seeing in Feb. So as part of my getting better I'm supposed to walk, alone, to the mailbox, then walk home, then repeat. It's the repeat part that blew my mind. I thought, do it once, done! yea me. Nope. Do it over and over the therapist says. Icky. She made me go for a walk during our session last week. How unconventional. *sad face* My appt is in 18 hrs so I better get moving. Haha. Just typing about going has made my hands sweat and my feet are now tingly. Great. Better go now before my legs go numb.



Update

Did it! What a great day out. Too bad most people think shoveling is optional. I'm lucky I didn't turn an ankle walking in that slush. I did walk through puddles because who can resist a good puddle. I will actually swerve to drive through a good puddle because it's awesome!
