The last several months have been sort of isolated.

I’ve not really left the apartment on my own to go anywhere.

But today I changed that.

This morning I needed laundry detergent and batteries and it was in the morning right after I started my first load of laundry for the weekend.

So I had to wait nearly an hour until the dollar store opened and made the trek to it.

One of the hardest things about having anxiety is taking that initial step out the door to do something.

This is something that was a necessity so I pushed through and did it.

It wasn’t easy at first, but when I got home I felt so much better because I took the initiative and it was good because I got some important mail in the mailbox before the mail came earlier as it can do on Saturday.

Sometimes we have to push ourselves to do things we don’t want to do because I’m eventually going to have to do it anyway.

Which makes me realize that things will change someday where this is going to be more common.

It is a goal of 2025 to get out more than I used to in the last few months.

And to that I did!
