Exposure Therapy: UPDATE!

Hello friends! Thank you all so much a few weeks ago for giving me exposure ideas for my anxiety! I've kept a list of the scary things I've done since then and wanted to share it!

~Emailed the admin for my paramedic program with a question (She was very nice and answered quickly)

~Drove my new car on the freeway (It broke down the day before but it's fine now)

~Posted a reel that I knew would get hate comments (I'm getting better at not caring what people think)

~Talked to a doctor at work (He's very nice I'm just afraid of people)

~Made a list of anxiety exposures to do (This made my anxiety worse at first, but doing them has made it better)

~Emailed my volunteer team to tell them I'm taking a break (I'm afraid of looking like I don't care)

~Politely interrupted someone at work when needed (It was awkward but no harm done)

~Talked to the mean doctor at work (He's evil but it went well)

~Interacted with a girl my age I didn't know (Awkward, but fine)

~Went to the DMV (It was extremely easy and I did not need to stress that much)

~Rode the bus alone for the first time (Watched the people around me to know what to do)

~Ate a new food (I did not like it but I finished it)

Thank you again everyone who recommended things! Some days I'm still stuck on my couch paralyzed by anxiety, but in general I think forcing myself to do things that scare me has improved my anxiety a lot! <3
