Well its the weekend, so its day off time. I feel a bit more fresh today. I have broken a rule of mine. Had a very small amount of alcohol last night.... and the night before. Not much at all, just wanted to be myself a little. I'm not one to live by rules. I start feeling caged and controlled after a while. I like my freedom.
Trying to decide about next weeks challenge. I already know what it is going to be but I'm just not sure if I should stick to what I have been doing for another week. I might just see what I feel like when I go for my walk on Monday. If I want to go a bit further then I will do.
There is so much that I want to do now. Although my past upsets me, people I have lost and things I have done wrong, I feel as though I have a future to look forward to.
Its been nice and sunny today, always puts me in a good mood.

Dreams
What an amazing thing the human mind is. I had a dream last night, not a normal one, but one which proves just how complex our minds really are. This dream I had was played twice, well almost twice. The second time round I replayed the beginning of the dream. During this recap everything people said in my dream was the same, everything they did was the same. The only different thing was me, i acted and said things differently. However you would think that none of it would have made sense, but it did, it just had a different meaning.
However although it showed how complex my mind is, it was also all complete rubbish. After all I don't actually live in a castle and I'm not rich. But we can all dream...

Day 5
Well not much to tell today folks. Got up a little late, turned off my CD player and went back to sleep again... however I have found an alarm clock which might just work. It has a ball on it that is thrown off the clock, the only way to turn off the alarm is to find the ball and place it back on to the clock. sounds like fun to me.
I haven't been out today, I know that I should have. Just been in the garden most of the day, having slight panics.
i got a message today from someone who is going through similar problems but who is younger than me. He mentioned about keeping a diary as being helpful which reminded me, writing letters can be helpful as well.
When my relationship ended about 18 months ago I would write letters directed to my ex, but I wouldn't send them. I found it very useful to vent off feelings that way. I am now thinking of doing the same thing but directed towards panic in itself, viewed as though it is a person. Also as I think some of my social problems are caused by bullying during the last three years of school (all verbal, but not very good for your confidence), so I will direct letters perhaps to those people. I would rather not think about my school days, even writing this on here, I don't want to 'publish' it. But perhaps that's what I need to do. Bullies have a habit of forgetting all about the person they bullied and moving on with there lives, its usually the bullied that are left with the memories.

The subway
This is the subway, the place i have been aiming to get to each day. Sorry about the quality of the picture but its not easy holding a bike in one hand and a phone in the other.

Day 4
A very weird day today. Mood swings I think.
I was up late. I thought that my alarm hadn't gone off but it had, must have turned it off without realising it.
Well the sun was out again so I spent a lot of the day in the garden. Also had to do lunch for me and mum today and the dinner, as my mum has started getting problems with her back again. So will probably have to help out some more over the next few weeks.
I did go out today. Walked with my bike, changed the route slightly. Each day I have kept a record of how anxious I have felt when out and its been going up, don't know if that's a good thing or not. It will probably go up before it goes down I expect.
What really got to me today was seeing a group of about 4 teenagers on the other side of the road. Just hearing them and knowing that they were there made me feel bad. I wanted to hide so much I didn't realise I had actually started walking in to the bushes next to the pavement. They weren't doing anything wrong, I think they just reminded me of school. I didn't get on with a lot of people at my last school, I was an easy target.

Day 3
Well not much to say today. It has been a busy day and I have made the most of the good, if slightly windy, weather. I have been out in the garden, mowing the front lawn and putting down some more grass seed.
I managed to get up early today. I stayed awake after my alarm went off although I sat in bed and listened to the radio for a while.
I haven't actually been out today. I was thinking of going out on my own (as me and my mum didn't go out anywhere), however I thought that a days break probably wouldn't be a bad thing. it gave me the chance to give my goldfish a bath and some clean drinking water. I think it helped to take my mind away from things for a while.
It will be back to the walking tomorrow. Having today off has made it seem less of a weight.
