I slept great, woke up a few times to pee, and I was fine, no panic! Last night my fiance and I went to Ikea. I LOVE that store. Before we left, I, ofcoarse, was nervous that I would have a panic attack while we were out. But I know that if I stay home, things will be much worse. I have to keep working on breaking the cycle of having a "safe spot" here at home. This is how DP and anxiety feed...
In other news, we have cleaned nearly the entire house up. I cannot stand clutter. I think that also adds to my anxiety. So, I'm doing everything in my power to eliminate any source of stress. And I do feel more relaxed at home now. I don't stress over coming home to a messy house. I heard on the radio from a study conducted that people who spend atleast twenty minutes a week cleaning up their home are twenty percent less likely to become depressed. I believe it is absolutely true. So no more messy house!!!
Today we finish the last of the cleaning, and we also have taekwondo later. After all that, his parents are coming up (it is their property) to consider remodeling the master bathroom... it needs a ton of work!!! It's bad! ...just like the rest of the house... :\
I'll update later, let you know how things went... Oh! and if we do decide to do the bathroom, you can count on before and after pictures!
