catching the bus

HI Georgie great job on 4 bus rides, I caught the bus since with a friend, we went exploring to a garden center, then she said "lets go to the park" I hadnt planned it (you know how we anxiety people like to plan) and I said "ok", there was the most beautiful waterfall.  We stopped and ate something.  My friend asked if i was up to walking down a million stairs( it felt like a million) to the bottom of the waterfall.  I was a bit dizzy, and she asked if I was ok, and I said "yes", went all the way to the bottom then up again to the top,  I was stiff for 2 days!!!.
Anyway, the point of the story was, that I havent taken the bus this far in ages, even with a friend, on the highway, and we had to ride a light rail for a bit, which I hadnt expected, and I had a great time.!!!
I havent been out much by myself tho, my hubby keeps saying get the bus, but I keep hesitating, but I will think of you and hopefully will get myself through it!!

Headaches and irrational thoughts

I find a good massage is good for a tension headache, its a bit spendy sometimes, depends where you are.  But they really work on the knots in the neck.  Also a friend got me a pack that has wheat stuff in, and you can microwave it and put the heat on the neck, it got rid of a bunch of my headaches.

anxiety and intimacy

Hi Sylvia, I have tried, he says nothing is wrong, and I try to cuddle, I try to do all kinds of things, but he doesnt seem to respond.  Maybe its not me, maybe he just doesnt want to do anything, and its his issue, not mine.   He is very over weight, it doesnt bother me, but maybe it bothers him..!!!
I just try to keep in shape (hard with the meds, I feel like i'm swelling up) and look good for myself.

rewarding stuff

HI everyone, did I tell you I started selling some of my aprons in a garden center in Minneapolis?
Its very rewarding and a good boost for my anxiety.  I am starting to sell some of my blankets too.
Everyone has been raving about my stuff, and said to sell it, so I thought I wonder if  I could.  I make about 10.00 dollars on each apron, which isnt much but sure makes me feel good that someone is buying my stuff.  Its a real boost and makes me feel super good.  Praise is a wonderful thing:)
