Last night, my husband wasn’t up for going on a walk like we normally do, he just wasn’t feeling well. However, I still had to go get the mail, and I decided to make a walk out of it. I simply walked in a circle; up a couple of streets, over one block, and back home. It only took me 15 minutes; however, my heart was racing the entire time. I was so afraid, I kept jumping every time I heard a noise. I knew I was walking in a safe neighborhood, but I couldn’t help my reactions. I don’t think I want to go on walks anymore without my husband. Although, the only way I’ll get comfortable walking on my own is with practice.

Good for you for going! Small steps… one step at a time.

I don’t like walking on my own either it’s a bit of an issue!!! Even walking the kids to school in the day I’m scared of walking home alone. I did so well doing more and more every week but after the kids have had a week off of school I slipped back into being scared again. I can’t walk anywhere at night alone, like u my heart races the whole time it’s awful. I totally understand how u feel xxx

I’m sorry you have the same difficulty as I do. It’s terrifying. I’m hoping it will go away at some point. I know I just need to work on it a little bit at a time.
