I havent really been posting here much for the reason that i feel i am getting better so too speak and well i just wanted to let other people know that it can be over come to a certain extent, maybe not completly but to a point where it can change your life for the better.

Reading back over some of the posts i put up here when i first joined nearly a year ago seem so not like the way i feel now, when i have read them its like reding someone elses posts and its by reading over some of my old post and realizing how much i have changed that gives me confidence and hope that i can keep it up.

Ive even got my first night out (well kinda) that ive ever had, iam going out on Saturday to a work mates house for a poker night Very Happy i will know 3 of them but i dont knw the other 4. The guy that invited me has asked me too so many things and i felt i couldnt keep saying no so i said yes for a change, i thought to myself if i want my life to change then i have to start making changes and well this seems like a good a time as any.

There is no one thing that has helped me get to where iam just now, for me i just kinda stopped thinking about things so much and just get on with it, i stopped letting my work bother me cause iam just a number too them, i stopped letting what other people though of me because chances are i'll never see them again. To think that this time last year i had too look out side all the windows before i left the house to make sure there was no one there and if i came home and there where people in my street i would find myself driving past a coming back once they where away all seems so silly now. Some things i have changed about myself are the way i walk, i've learned to walk with my shoulders more relaxed and looking back now i was so tense, eye contact was alos a big problem but now with that i would say iam half way there.

I have no real point here but just want to let other people know that you dont have to have SA/SP for life in my opinion for me alot of it is in my mind and no one can change my mind and thoughts but myself.

This will prob be my last post on here (then again maybe not Razz ) so i thought i would make it a positive one Very Happy

hey darlin!! as i've probably said before, i'd hate to see you go - we need as much positivity and encouragement as we can get!

and i agree with you, all the improvement i've seen in myself comes from as you put it just, "get[ting] on with it". it gets easier as you go, which you've found, and i'm so happy for you. take care Very Happy

It's really good that you can see so much improvement in yourself Very Happy

Do come back though at some point and let us know how you're getting on with life.

Take care x

hiya Mark.....good luck to you Exclamation ...you seem like such a nice person...i hope you continue to do well....and find happiness.....let us know how you're doing...i remember when you started the "positive posts only" thread...i remember thinking...what a great idea...cause...it made me think in a more productive way..and gave me some incentive to think past the negative, daily stuff.....nice "meeting" you...getting to know you..and seeing the situation improve for you..but still...gonna miss you
