Better Day!!

I did better yesterday at my daughter's little dribblers basketball game. I still focused on the camera and listened to music, but I didn't feel as panicky. I still felt bad when we were out doing shopping. Too many people.

I didn't go to church this morning because I have been real anxious at church and I did not want to get started first thing in the morning being anxious. My psychologist said to see how it makes you feel and then decide if you can handle it. I had a good meeting with the psychologist the other day. We talked about many things. One statement that stuck out is that people do not know how to respond to people with mental illness. That's why lots of times they will do something odd when dealing with a person with mental illness. That makes sense to me. I was that way about people in wheel chairs with multiple disabilities. That was until I started working with kids with multiple disabilities and realized that I was stupid in the past.

I am starting a new goal today. I want to be ready to ride in a 50 mile bike ride by May. I used to do 25 miles pretty easy so now I want to challenge myself a little more. I also hope that if I document my goal that it will encourage me a little more. Plus, it will get me motivated to exercise which is a necessity for someone with anxiety and depression. I'll be posting updates for you on the new goal. The old goal off getting items ready for garage sale is going good. I'm making good progress.

Hope everyone out there has a good day. :)
