And I agree with Elizabeth--good for you for not getting negative about it. <br />I will have to check out this Good Reads. I'm a total bookworm. And I don't think book addiction is harmful at all, by the way! :-)Tina Fariss Barbourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15659018994558471570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8352200900659539534.post-58076450142712776062011-12-14T22:16:12.202+00:002011-12-14T22:16:12.202+00:00Any time you try, it is a success.

I'm so happy for you and so proud of you for your attempt and your attitude. : )<br /><br />I'm on Good reads, too!<br />http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/6843550-kathy<br /><br />I'm still working my way up to 300 read. I know I've read many more. They're just not added yet.

Would you like to be friends on there?<br /><br />My profile is: http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/7098916-elizabethElizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18279501398388972542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8352200900659539534.post-87000945810612491412011-12-14T11:49:12.840+00:002011-12-14T11:49:12.840+00:00Thank you Elizabeth and Karin, anxiety is just a p...Thank you Elizabeth and Karin, anxiety is just a pain in the backside isn't it! It is hard to not talk down to myself and call myself a failure over it but I am constantly telling myself that I tried and that is a step forward, especially since for so long I just stopped trying.<br /><br />Karin, I am on goodreads too, it has some great book suggestions and I like seeing what others read too. I am envious! that is a lot of books to get through! You must be a brilliant reader!Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16699581430199254616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8352200900659539534.post-59829192452415041572011-12-14T03:45:25.219+00:002011-12-14T03:45:25.219+00:00What Elizabeth says.

I'm trying for 1000 :). (and no, i didn't count ALL the Nancy Drew / Bobbsey twins books i've read ).<br /><br />One thing you might try in your adventures to get outside is to think of something really fun you want to do (like walking by the river, as you mentioned), rather than going to do 'tasks'. Your desire may easier overcome the dread of doing it, than just checking off jobs that are now done. However, congrats for trying! Getting ready and thinking about getting out the door is an exposure in itself, so it is a HUGE success!Karinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17182813079850508907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8352200900659539534.post-52699456237346914702011-12-13T15:22:23.149+00:002011-12-13T15:22:23.149+00:00I am so happy for you that you tried.

Negative self talk goes hand in hand with all this anxiety and OCD so the fact that you were able to talk nicely to yourself is wonderful!<br /><br />You are so right about the fact that you WILL get back out there someday. Just take baby steps. I think yesterday was a great step in the right direction.<br /><br />By the way, I love that Johnny Cash quote!Elizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18279501398388972542noreply@blogger.com
