Extreme fear


20 years ago 0 109 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
Take little steps and don't plan too far ahead. To go to the shop maybe a kilometer is too far all at once so break it down. One day walk a quarter of the distance and turn around and go home and then repeat for maybe another day or two or until you're sure you're safe and then go 1/2 the distance and work your way up to the full kilometer. Hope that helps.
