The first day

I have since my pregnancy noticed that I’ve developed some form of social phobia, for me it doesn’t seem mild but when I’ve done my research on the topic I have realized that a lot of people suffer way more than I. Though, this is my problem and for me it’s a huge handicap in my everyday life. I guess it started before I got pregnant but it all escalated then and have just gotten worst. In some sense, it is mild since I don’t suffer from Agoraphobia which is an anxiety disorder characterized by symptoms of anxiety in situations where the person perceives their environment to be unsafe. This is not the case. I do on the other hand get nervous and stressed in situations where I feel that I get judged which have resulted in that I retreat to my safe zone and that is something I want to change. Today I have invited a friend of mine over for lunch, this is not a friend I know too well but I do enjoy her company. I will cook for her and enjoy the ‘climate change’ weather here in London. This is not a situation that stresses me to an absurd level but it is still challenging. I will try to exploit myself to small tasks like this every day and report back here. Wish me luck

Lots of Love
