This morning I got onto WordPress to type up a blog post. I didn’t have a specific topic in mind, just wanted to update the blogosphere about where I am in the book publishing process. Unfortunately, there was a little notification number next to a menu item on the dashboard and I made the mistake…

It’s no secret that being seen scares me. I’ve tried my best to be open and honest about it (in as quiet a way as possible) because it makes things a tiny bit easier. When I name my fear, it gives it less power. So that’s what I’m doing today. Naming the fear. Yesterday was…

I finished therapy and immediately went to Panera Bread to have some lunch and reflection time. Only there’s a girl a few tables over that is SOOO loud and I can’t focus on anything. I’m trying to figure out if that means I should just leave, find a different spot, or find a way to…

This was not a planned post for the Social Anxiety At Home series, but I needed to brain dump today and it seemed to go well with the series, even if it doesn’t follow the pattern of the rooms. Find links to the rest of the series on the welcome post linked above. It’s just…
