I have direction now.  I know what I am going to be doing for my mental problems.  Well… at least I know where I am going to start.  Now I just need to finalize how I am going to carry out that first step.

This is fine… I want to think for a few days, and make sure I am handling things correctly.  But I feel good about my decisions.

For now, I am not going to say what I will be doing.  Except that I will be going back into therapy, and I want to be able to pick up where I left off last Spring.  This will take some effort – I will have to push myself quite a bit.  But it is all doable.

Even this week I am struggling with having to go out.  That, even though a couple of things I need to get are things I have been really looking forward to.  There is also cat food.  But it all means going at least 3 places, which has been my normal limit for a long time.  And there are 2 other places I “should” go as well.

This is the first issue I have to deal with.  I need to learn how to use my energies more effectively, and get out more.  I know I can do that.  And successes will help me.  So I am sort of looking at things that will feel like success.

There is also something I would like to do this coming weekend, and I have a lot of doubts about that.  No matter how difficult local shopping can be, going out to events where I will have to deal with a lot of people, are still a huge obstacle.

So I move forward… taking tiny steps to learn what it feels like to succeed.  Wish me success!
