Today was a real test for me, in my head I thought I was prepared but in hindsight, the fact I’m shaking uncontrollably now probably puts my stage of anxiety into more perspective.
A trip to Tesco’s on a Sunday morning was probably not the best decision I made. On the outside looking in, the store wasn’t busy, there were lots of open spaces I could stand if I needed to, then from nowhere I can only describe it as a football stadium spewing out the spectators, people were stampeding for what to cook for Sunday dinner, some aimlessly doodling in everyone’s way, just not a good place to be with anyone who suffers from anxiety.
Back in the car and listening to my ‘Calm’ app, controlling my breathing, putting into perspective what just happened and shelving my thoughts, acknowledging them but not acting on them and now reflecting on my sense of achievement.
