I suffer from anxiety and my CPN is encouraging me to go out more. We've planned to go to costa coffee next week and I'm shitting myself quite frankly. We went in there last week and I was very tense, and in some ways it worse knowing I have to go back next week.

But at the same time I know that rationally there is nothing to be afraid of. Nothing bad happened and I managed. It helps knowing that I'm with my CPN and she talks me through my anxiety.

It sounds good that your CPN will help you and go at your own pace. You can turn back anytime, try not to feel under pressure. You'll do better if you're in control of things.

	Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes but when you look back, everything is different… you once called your brain a hard drive, well say hello to the virus.
