Despite a change to my plans today, I think I coped well, in fact I feel that I coped better than I did last week. Instead of one walk on my own as I had planned I had to do two. I was a little anxious, but as I said not as much as last week.
I am finding that by setting myself the challenge of taking a photo everyday it is making me think about going out more, and I know that all being well, the more I go out the easier it will become. The challenge is going to be the next few weeks as schools are on holidays, and the occasions I have had abuse in the street has been from kids. As a result I do find it harder the more kids/teens that are about.
I think taking photos is becoming addictive, on my way home today I didn't plan to take any photos but the colours of some foliage caught my eye and I thought they might make nice shots.
I then ended walking home with my camera in my hand just in case I saw something else. I also think I did this cause the camera acts as a barrier between me and the world. I know in reality in some cases my pausing to take a photo will attract more attention as people try and figure what I am photographing and why, but in my mind it allows me to take a break from the hectic world and recompose myself, allowing me to carry on.
