Hi to everyone.
I haven't really been around posting much lately but I have been checking in and reading now and then and thought I might give an update on how things are going and if anyone else has any encouraging breakthroughs please feel free to post them.
Myself, I have been plodding away quite well I think. In saying that though I haven't had any major hurdles or 'new' situations in my life to deal with (just this week I do
). Church which was one of my major anxiety provoking situations is becoming better and better all the time. I have been making more of an effort to become involved with conversations at coffee time and have actually been enjoying that. In saying that I still find it difficult to think about the prospect of having people over for dinner or lunch which is something I guess I would really like to be able to progress to at one point. One day at a time I guess. I do beleive my confidence is growing in all areas though.
One other thing that may be positive is that I am waiting for applications to open on an internet course (a study that is being conducted by one of the universities here) related to SAD that is coming up very soon. They are going to contact me when it does open and hopefully I meet the criteria to participate.
Hoping and praying that others here are progressing each day towards recovery in some form. For me it feels like a slow wet weekend but I'm trying to stay positive in that one day I'll be look back and appreciate where I've come from.
God Bless
