When I woke up this more there was more get up and go than push myself compared to recent months. I went to the university bookstore and got the information I needed for my Rehabilitation Counselor about my textbooks. I approached a lady to ask how vouchers need to be processed. I did not feel very anxious in doing so. I got the information I needed.
As I left the bookstore I felt really good. I accomplished a goal. I also stepped up and challenged my social anxiety. My heart was beating a little faster. I don’t think it was a panic attack after the fact of a stressful situation. It seemed more like an adrenaline rush. While I was asking for information the adrenaline kept me stable. once I was done with the bookstore, I still had left over adrenaline. It burned off in 10-15 minutes. I felt so happy that I kept composure and stayed calm.
When I got to my building I went to check on a home bound neighbor of mine. Her physical therapist had come for a session. i stayed and took notes on the exercises she is supposed to do. This way I can help encourage her in between his visits.
I felt tired afterwards and took a nap. I had an appointment with my therapist. I rode 2 buses to get there. We set some goals for my therapy. I bought a Pampered Chef Microwaveable Steamer for 75 cents at a thrift store. I rode one bus up to the university campus and then walked downhill home. The exercise was good. I am proud of myself for making the choice of riding the bus to campus and walking home, rather than wait for 2 buses to ride straight home.
