Tipsy

Due to a lovely migraine I have spent the last 2 days feeling like I'm drunk, not a pleasant sensation. Really pleased with myself for despite anxiety attacks, which came out of the blue, on Monday I made it to photography and even managed on several occasions to open my mouth and say something. Though I have come to realise that I have to be careful as anxiety attacks seem to leave me feeling edgy and close to being short tempered, especially when people talk in class when the lecturer is talking, and then ask him a question about something he has just covered, which if they had listened they would know, there we are my venting for the evening.

I am coming to the realisation how much our interactions with others can impact upon future interactions with different people, things that happen can colour future interactions with people who had nothing to do with the previous interaction. I have to learn again how to keep things in balance and not allow bad events to totally colour bad all future interactions.

I am also pleased with myself that when I needed help with something on Monday I asked someone who I knew might be able to help, whereas in the past I wouldn't have wanted to bother anyone. The recovery from this social fear/phobia is going to take time, but finally I can see that it is heading in the right direction.
