Yes it was! Took a lot of courage to make that move. Hopefully the memory will make the next one easier.Not to beat a dead horse but this is a huge milestone
Sounds excellent!I dod something huge last night, The reason it was a huge step for me was I haven't been to an indoor concert for almost 18 years. My anxiety just wouldn't allow it. I have missed kids concerts, school programs, DS1 performances, family functions, hell you name it, if I did go I could not enjoy them as I was worried that the proverbial "something" would happen.
I have been going through intense psychotherapy to combat these issues. Last night was a big test. As you may know I am big fan of Irish music and Gaelic Storm was in town last night. I thought the show was sold out, I found out there were tickets available and decided I wanted to go. I told DW and I'm not sure who was more surprised, her or I!
Now we got to the casino an hour before the doors opened to the Bar and walked around to allow me to get used to the noise and people. When the doors opened we were one of the first ones through the doors and found a great spot.
A Pipe and drum corp opened up the show and were good, congrats to the crew for the great job! Then out came Gaelic Storm! They put on an amazing show! I was having fun and even though my anxiety reached some pretty high levels I stuck it out and wound up really having a great time!! Even ran into a few friends!
I was having o much fun last night I felt like the old me for a bit! I felt almost normal. I was singing along, clapping my hands and just having a blast.
Notto beat a dead horse but this is a huge milestone.
You DO deserve it. Take the day off - you have my permission!I want to stay home, quit work and hide" kinda day. I deserve it!
