I overcame my anxiety!

Its been about a year and a half since the summer in Florida.  I did two major things there to overcome my anxiety.  First, I rode my bike for 2-3 miles down the main road and went to a sushi restaurant completely by myself.  The second thing I did was go to a restaurant by myself on the pier. 

I realized that my anxiety was that if I was out and about by myself and I got my nausea/abdominal pains (due to my irritable bowl), I would be helpless.  I needed to force myself to go out to see that I would be fine.  Even if I did get abdominal pain (and I didn't), I would be able to go home and be ok.  I actually really enjoyed when I went to those restaurants by myself.  When I was on the pier, I ended up talking about pie with a lady sitting at the table next to mine.  If I was with someone else, I probably would not have done that. 

Is my anxiety completely gone....no.  But is it pretty much gone and under control....yes!  I now go to stores by myself and do things that I would have been scared to do before.  Life is better. 

A few months after I came back from Florida, I talked to someone whom I told about my anxiety before the trip.  When she asked me how if I was able to control my anxiety in Florida, I had to think about it for a second became I completely forgot about how scared I was to be by myself there!  Funny how we forget unpleasant things.
