I would go grocery shopping at night.
Not two in the morning but I'd go at night
when my kids were asleep, safe, tucked in and I could just go
and have some peace and not be worried about being
in constant human contact.
It was a safe place for me to be in my head, so I thought.
And as I've sought treatment I've been able
to go the grocery store with my kids.
Usually it's only in an emergency.
I don't really choose to bring the little people with me
but they always want something.
[laughs] But I've been able, I can go to the swimming pool
with my kids and let them play.
I can go to the park and this is not like everyone else though.
I'm still not like everyone else.
And I think I have accepted that for me going
to one game is a start.
That's a big deal.
Going to the grocery store with the kids at the last minute
for an extra ingredients
to dinner is a big deal because I did it.
And once I have done it, the fear is gone and I'm able
to do it again and again and it just becomes a non-issue.
Should something happen while I'm doing that,
I'm now learning the tools to be able to cope with that.
