Well I was supposed to go to my parents house for a barbecue today, they live about 25min away. I was determined to at least try and go. I pushed out of my comfort zone but was only able to make it half way. I was proud and excited for making it out of my comfort zone but disappointed that I didn't make it the entire way. I really hate it when I miss out on fun things like this but I know there will be more to come.

I think since I only made it half way this time I will try to make it a little further next time and so on and so on until I finally get there.

I just hate the mixed emotions of being proud of myself for trying and pushing the limits a bit but not pushing it the entire way.

So glad to hear you are complementing yourself for making it half way, that was great. Next time you will do it, and I completely understand about feeling left out, their are only a few things I avoid but you do feel bad. Just keep pushing and having positive experiences and you will make it. Does your family understand? Good for you, way to go!!!

Thanks, lyon and cornflower for the positive response. My family is very understanding so I am fortunate for that. I'll keep working at it. Thanks, again!

Hello!I'm so proud of you for trying!I also am missing out on some fun right now.My family just left for Holiday world today and I'm not ready for that kind of trip yet let alone a busy amusement park so I've had to once again stay home.Like I posted on your previous post I am making much progress though.I'm trying this time not to look at it as there's something really wrong with me like I used to.I'm just looking at it like I've made alot of progress and soon enough I'll be able to do those things with my family.One step at a time but just don't sit idle in your comfort zone.We'll get through this and be made much stronger for going through it.Take care and God bless!

Congrats on the progress!! Isn't it WONDERFUL when you see yourself making that progress!! The one thing that struck me in your title was the ONLY part....Be excited that you made it half way!! :) I might be reading it wrong but I don't want you to be discourage that you didn't make it the whole way. Look at the progress that you DID make!! :) Keep up the good work...and don't beat yourself up but build yourself up :D I look forward to reading about the progress that you continue yo make!! WAY TO GO!!!! :D

That is great!!! I know it's hard driving farther and farther but you can do it!! I'm still practicing with this, but the more you practice the better you'll get at it. I know this from experience! I have been able to drive about 40 minutes away, it was hard work and I felt terrible, but that's really good for me. Keep on trying, taking lil steps, and you'll get there : )
