Revisit to Anxiety Tribe

I've returned here today to find I hadn't been on for a long while. I wrote my last (and first) blog september 2008, and I gave it a read, and my profile too, and made me realise how unhappy i was back then. I've updated a couple things in my profile now, but needs updating some more probably.


Looking back, I'm certainly happier than before. I do have more confidence and hope about the future, but still suffer badly from anxiety. Although it affects everything I do, I still manage to get out for walks & things frequently, and get by ok. Although, I do avoid busy public places, and haven't entered a shop for some time...not realy ideal.


Last time here, I was unemployed and getting frequently moaned at my family members, but I've now been running my graphic design business for a couple years and some weeks go really well. It's been nice to be able to buy things for a change as I went a few years with no money. This, with family members being happy and supportive has made me happier I guess.


I started exercising, cycling, walking, jogging, lifting weights recently and this is really improving my determination, happiness and confidence. I recommend that to anyone who doesn't exercise.


I'm looking for a place to rent now, although not sure if my anxiety would let me do so. I'd probably rely on food shopping online until I could manage going out to a supermarket. I just really want my independance now. Would like a place by the coast and away from town centres, but maybe that's asking too much hehe.

Good luck. Keep trying. Remember to lean on your family if you can and ask them to help you in the moments you need them.
