Life is Easier by the Months

Each month seems to get better. I have had many set backs but I am trying to pull ahead. Therapy has been cut down to every other week (accomplishment? I think so!). In two weeks I will be getting my hearing aids which will change my life I'm sure. Today I went with a friend to a lake. This is HUGE for me. I have not gone anywhere without my mom or fiance since this all happened. I was fine! I only lasted about 3 hours. I don't do well in the heat anymore and I get tired easily but I did it and I am proud of that. I even tried swimming today! This was something I was terrified of because of things I had read online. It was just fine! I have been taking homeopathic meds also to help with my hunger problem due to anxiety. Many of my days are anxiety free now though! I know that I might step on some sufferers of Labs feet but I have to say that for the most part why we can't do things is because of anxiety. There are certainly things I can't do because of the Labs but driving is difficult because of the anxiety. I drove my car by myself the other day... A great stride? You better believe it! Of course my fiance was driving behind me but a month ago I wouldn't have done that at all. So little by little I will start to venture out... Life is different... I'm not sure if that will change... things look differently, feel differently, and are much more difficult then they were. But I have to come to terms with that and try to work with it the best that I can. I have an incredible support team around me. They hold me up when I feel as if I will fall. They are what makes me keep on pushing.
