I went to the mall with my mother. It was nice except I felt like everyone was talking about me. But I could handle it. Before I couldn’t go at all. I’m still paranoid about it though.
I ate a burger with fries.
I know people weren’t talking about me. I guess it’s delusional thinking mixed with shame about myself, low confidence etc.
Public places are really rough when one has this illness.
Well, you survived, maybe you can make it an occasional trip there to have coffee. You know now that no ones going to bug you other then your own voices.
Thats great that you faced your fears and went to the mall! Its hard getting out and facing all those people. Ive taken a couple trips to the mall recently. I go on Sundays, when it first opens, so its not too busy. I just get so anxious.
