So driving places isn't so much of a problem anymore. I still get nervous on the highway but I'm doing better.
I have trouble doing certain things that bring me happiness. Such as..going out short notice to a festival. or..going to an exercise class. Things that involve other people I guess. I am still trying to understand. I think writing it down helps.
Oh, I know. When it comes to doing things that enrich my life and make it fuller, I back down. I'm so weird. But writing it down and telling you guys helps me I think. I want to change this so it isn't a problem anymore.

That's great, Angela. I remember when you were posting about having trouble doing that. Congratulations on how well you're doing!

I want to change this so it isn't a problem anymore.I don't know that you're that weird. I have the same problem to a certain extent (except that I only enjoy them in retrospect). I know lots of people who have no history of mental health problems who have the same difficulty.
I'm guessing it's like the driving. As you do it, it becomes easier. If posting on Babble helps with that, or helps you feel more accountable, then I'm glad. I've got a thread on Health about weight loss, although my self discipline isn't as strong as it could be.

I feel it's always good to have moral support..
Thanks Dinah.
