Hello, I struggle with anxiety (and a few other things, but anxiety is the main one). One of the biggest problems I have, is going to events alone. Even if I'm really excited and talked myself into going alone, the closer it gets, the more I feel like I can't do it. 

But today, I went to a baseball game alone! I get tickets through my work, but every time I had meant to go alone, the games were rained out. The weather worked with my anxiety, but I never had the chance to test it to see if I could do it. These aren't the major league games, or even minor leagues, they are college teams put together during the summer. So, the stadium and crowds are smaller and right up my alley. 

There were a lot of people there today, but I managed to go and enjoy myself. I also only went on my phone between innings and got myself to live in the moment. 

While this might be small for some, it really is a personal win for me. I had gotten better at going places alone but recently fell back into a routine of needing others. I'm glad to know I'm working on getting past that again.
