Big achievement (for me)

66Mustang

As some know I am currently on new pills which make my obsessive thoughts slightly better, not at all cured but better.

One of the things the thoughts (used to) stop me doing is driving a long way or on big roads.

Yesterday I managed to drive around 80 miles from my house to a destination. Including a bit of motorways. Then my parents took over for the rest of the day. But I am very pleased.

Thanks for reading.

@66Mustang Bravo you! I imagine that was a huge confidence boost, and rightly so. You did it!

@66Mustang

Oh a massive well done, that’s amazing, as I know you weren’t keen on  long journeys.

Give yourself a wee treat today you deserve it  ❤️

66Mustang

Thank you @Cher_Scope and @Lou67

 

I did buy some treats at a farm shop when we were there

That's really good news @66Mustang - what a great achievement.

@durhamjaide2001 I bought some cheese and some Baklava/Baklawa - if people don't know what that is it's like a Turkish pastry made with nuts and lots of sugar syrup.

Thank you @chiarieds, it's funny as I feel like I could do it again...when I have done one of these little achievements in the past I thought "glad that's over with, hopefully a while before I have to do it again".

Good on you @66Mustang. It is a BIG achievement when you manage to do something that previously you were loathe to do, especially when you feel you can do it again. A good boost to confidence levels.
