Pushed Myself Out of Bed and Went to the Movies

[batgirl]

Yesterday I was in a very bad mood, a bit depressed, anxious and tired. I wanted to stay in bed the entire day. But I forced myself to get up and have a shower. Usually my dad has to push me when I am in this bad of a mood but I did without his help this time. I then went into town, alone, and got groceries for my mum. While in town I decided on a whim to go to a movie, again alone! I have never been in a movie theatre alone. It was a matinee so not many people were in attendance but I was still proud of myself for it! I got myself a drink at a coffee shop afterwards too, before coming home again. I'm kind of excited as I didn't realize I was capable of doing all that on my own. It went very well!

That's so great, Evie!! I know that good feeling!

Hey, what did you see? Was it good?

[cherryblossom]

You should be really proud of yourself.
Congrats!

Great job Batgirl!

Isn't that a great feeling when you surprise yourself and get to say - Hey, I didn't even know I could do that!

[Lisa]

[Nicolette]

What a great feeling! How do you feel now?
I hope the movie was great! The Oscars are coming up in a few weeks.
The freedom of coming and going by yourself, in your own car, must be wonderful.

Great job on going to the movies by yourself. Hell even I don't go alone....LOL!!!! So what movie did you see??? Was it good???

[batgirl]

Wow thanks everyone for the encouragement, sorry I'm just not posting much these days, but I appreciate it!

Hodge and Wendy, the movie I went to see was The Golden Compass. I really liked it! As I was raised Catholic though, I'm kind of confused about what is so controversial, like why the Church is so opposed to it. I guess maybe the pope and the bishops don't want us to be free thinkers?? Oh well, what else is new... :p

Anyways thanks, I was excited to go on my own, I think I might do it again sometime.

Nice one Evie, well done.

Way to go Smooch! (; Going to the movies alone is something most people don't like doing, PTSD or not..

[Nicolette]

Good point Travis. Must say I hate going alone - it makes me feel out of place especially in a romantic film (which I love) with all the couples. :rolleyes:

[anthony]

Very good point Travis..... well said.

[vee_dog]

This is so awesome, Batgirl! I hope it gives you more confidence in yourself. I'm smiling for you.

[batgirl]

Thanks again everyone, and that is a good point Travis. I never thought of that, thanks for mentioning it though, it makes me feel good to know people don't normally go to the movies alone. I actually enjoyed myself and I think I want to do it again. :)

Well done my girl. What I am going to do with all my free time, now that you don't need pushes any longer? ;-)

Dad.

[batgirl]

I'm sure you'll think of something else to bug me about Dad... ;)
