Few big steps

I knew I made some progress for a while now but it wasn't anything big and I was worried that I kinda hit my ceiling because no further progress was made.

Then today I realized that's not true. Just because I'm still scared of the same things but now I can do them it doesn't mean the progress wasn't made. Or because I can't do everything every day.

Just in last week I had three big outings (big for me) where each time I was out of the house for cca an hour. None of them were planned or timed it just kinda ended up being an hour.

I went on long drives (thank god I have zero issues with that), went to the cemetery at night (honestly wouldn't recommend to anyone because it is kinda spooky, agoraphobia or not lol), today I went to the shop (second time in a week).

I was medicated to different level on each outing (nothing outside what's prescribed to me) and the one on the Saturday took a lot from me to make myself go but once I did, it was just ok.

Anxiety levels were so low they aren't even comparable to anything I felt even a month ago.

For some reason I struggle with walks the most while I do just fine in stores

Also while meds did help they weren't helping on the same level even a month ago so I can't say this is all just because I was medicated. Hell, two months ago I wasn't able to leave my house fully medicated. While meds are a crutch for sure, they're not doing all the work.
