I posted before about struggling with different mental illness (OCD, anxiety, agoraphobia, ptsd) and I've really let it hold me back or use it as a excuse not to go somewhere or do something.  
Yesterday I found out a person I know died.  She was 42! So young :( I just turned 40 so close to my age. It really hit me hard.
Today my daughter asked me to take her and a friend to the mall.  I could see the look on her face expecting me to say no, she even said it's ok if you cant.  
Well I did! I even shopped by myself for a bit and that in itself is amazing for me.  I even tried on a dress for fun 😀.  Not a big deal for some people but for me it's a huge thing!  I've got to stop making excuses and make a change so my family have good memories of me, not just a couch potato.
