That's great. All you can do is try, baby steps at a time!

Hey guys. Just popping in to say I'm doing quite well with this problem. I'm still absolutely terrified, but I'm managing to work past that and talk anyway. I went on duty with St John Ambulance, had to treat loads of patients, and I just had to literally swallow my fear and speak to them anyway. I did really well through the whole duty, got to the very end and just felt so overwhelmed I just burst into tears. Not the best ending, but I think I did well before that.

I'm so very proud of you. I'm betting a part of those tears was a release of fear in knowing not everyone will harm you when you speak. I see progress happening girl take it slow so you can work on the other issues troubling you. You should be very proud of this accomplishment, I am.

Thanks guys!! I know I'm doing better, and this is one problem where I do seem to be getting better, so it's good for my self-esteem as well, cos it's kinda showing me I can get better, I just have to take it one step at a time, and in a way one problem at a time. It's not as dangerous a problem as the bulimia or the cutting, but in a way starting with the least dangerous problem is kind of a good place to start rebuilding my life. Make any sense?

One thing I gotta say, though, is I just HATE this feeling of being scared of what people are gonna say back to be or what they'll think of me. It's kinda like I'll look back thinking WHY should I be scared of these people, but it still doesn't stop be being scared!!
