Something to be proud of
Yesterday I went with my fiancé and parents to a shopping village over an hour away from where I live. I was terrified to go as I am still greatly struggling with my ocd fears of peeing myself in public and my harm ocd telling me that if I went something bad would happen to my family and we would be over an hour away. However, I fought past these fears and did end up pushing myself to go. I was there for over 3 hours and though I can’t remember much of it as I spent a lot of the time in my head instead of being mentally present, I know I had fun and got to visit some great places. Two in particular were a haunted book store and an Alice in Wonderland themed tea shop where I got a boba tea. Though I want to work on being more present, I am so happy I was able to push myself instead of avoiding the situation and it shows progress. Just wanted to share with everyone.
