I realised after this section that I was more anxious about being out on my own than I needed to be. Fear of being suddenly out of control has brought me more triggers and I have isolated myself.
I am making an effort to walk slowly around my town and stop and chat to people i know. I have also spoken to a local taxi firm about my situation and they have dropped me home several times. I can stay out longer and don’t need to conserve some energy to walk up the very steep hill where I live.
