Great idea!!
It gives me encouragement hearing everyones' positive steps.
Just today at school I did something that I never thought I would be able to do. In jazz class, we were put in groups to practice songs that we were to perform at the end of class. I pushed myself to make suggestions and contribute to the group rather than just sitting there quietly like I usually do. It went really well. The teacher liked the performance. I even ended up doing a little solo that some people complimented me on. This was just a small step but I am not dreading the next time I have to do this as much. This experience has given me confidence to join a jazz ensemble, something I have been dreading for months.

Well da other day i got a voicemail from some boy i see from time to time saying he wants to speak to me and to call him back to catch up etc etc. as soon as i heard "call me," i freaked out :roll: .
da next day i was nervous and just thought "get on with it" i thought of "worse" (well to me they were bad, to others probably nothing) things i had gotten through and so just called him. the conversation was a whole 12 minutes long. to me, in the circumstances thats like 12 hours! lol. but it went really well for me. i felt like me, he responded and laughed at what i said and i really felt good that at da end of da night, i cud go to sleep thinking "it went well" rather than "oh shit..i said dat wrong and my tone sounded like this" etc.
so nothing huge, but something which really meant summit to me. :lol:
2moro, i meet him.... :?

Wooo sounds like gossip to me Skyla, how did it turn out?
Okok +ve stuff: last weekend whilst simultaneously surfing SPW forums I emailed 2 [local] special effects companys asking if I could spend a day with them (work shadowing). These guys get like 1,000,000,000,000 requests for work experience all the time yet I can't believe what happened - I actually got a positive response back. From BOTH companies. Wow!!
Now I'm craping myself about having to speak to these people face to face...should be fun, I'm going to try and interview somef their staff too (that way I have stuff written down on paper I can say).
And thats not all, I'm setting up some workshops for kids where a few students go into a class and make things (in the theme of engineering). It's a bit of a dream of mine to see this through, and so far so good.
It all sound great but its very stressful. God damn this SP from hell. :x

Re: 2day was a good day!
I'm glad you saw some positive in a bad situation. I have to say it made me laugh a bit, maybe we all need a good ass kicking lol
Danfalc said:Before i start this, i wanna say this sounds bad at the start but it gets better.Well anyways i was wandering home the other night and 2 guys roughly my age who were very drunk. Decided it would be fun to jump me, I started wrestling with the first one, but the other one grabbed me from behind and the first on started laying into me,this went on for a bit untill some guy who was passing jumped in and chased em off.Normaly somthing like this would really get me down and make my anxiety worse.But i had to go and shrink 2day, so i thought why should i be nervous when id taken a kicking, i mean whats feeling nervous compared to getting my ass kicked. Anyways i didnt feel bad going to my shrink.

I did 2 presentations in front of 26 children last week and spoke to them all one-to-one as well. How cool is that?!

It's been a while since the last positive post on this thread, so I thought I'd add one, even though it's a just general positive thing, nothing specific.
Well, I'm just in a much better place (mentally) than I was this time last year, and a much much much better place than I was the year before that. The situation's not changed a whole lot, but my attitude has, and I am just happier about myself than I was before. So it can be done!
And also, well done to black_mamba for the above things. Good for you!

Why thankyou, and good for you for feeling happy.
I also did another workshop recently in front of a small class of children, they were really misbehaving and it was tough trying to keep myself together, but it worked out ok in the end. Phew!

that's great to hear Awkward girl. I'm sure it takes a lot of will power to work at a day care and not let your anxiety take over. And it sounds lthose in charge can see you compentant in what you do because they did offer you a susbtatute job. That's definately something to be proud of!
Congratulations!
Congratulations!

I've recently started teaching guitar to my two nephews every sunday. And yesterday my next door neighbour asked if I would give her son a few lessons also, as she has bought him a guitar for Christmas. This is unheard of behaviour for me - on two fronts. Firstly, all the years I've been playing guitar, my SA has always gotten the better of me and has stopped me performing in front of, well anybody. Second, my nextdoor neighbour usually try to avoid each other! Must be Christmas or something I guess.
Oh yes. I entered into a photographic competition that was being run by a well known monthly UK photographic magazine (imaginatively titled -wait for it -photography monthly). The catagory was 'special effects', so I sent in an unusual self-portrait of myself. It didn't win, I only came in ninth position. But hey, I got my picture published YAY! So if anyone in the UK cares to pick up the January addition of Photography monthly, you'll be able to see my ugly mug staring right back at you.

I'm getting more confident, slowly slowly.
Today I spoke to a complete stranger, and for the first time I paused to think about what to say rather than blurting out an incoherent jumble of words.
I also spoke fairly confidently to three of my classmates at the same time (3? WOW!) and I felt very relaxed doing so. Maybe it was because we were complaining like crazy - I LOVE a good old whinge.
