Weekend Accomplishments

Well I had a great weekend. I took my kids to the park for the first time in two months. I attended my church's Christmas Party, and I attended my husband's National Guard Company's Family Day. Saturday night after the Christmas party I felt overwhelmed. It was a lot, but I had a good time. I was very tired afterwards though, it took a lot of energy to be there. It took a lot of coping skills to deal with being around so many people. Family Day today was a bit easier. I think is was easier because my husband was there. He is such a big, strong man. I always feel safer when he is around. Looking back at my weekend I am very pleased with myself. Getting out of my house so much is huge. And I felt safer in my house than I have lately. My anxiety was pretty low all weekend. I coped well when my anxiety started to get high, and I managed to do a lot. It was a good weekend. Full of progress. I feel as if I have crossed a bridge into a new, healthier place. It feels good to be able to gain control over my emotions.
