Gratitude for 4-25-2013 and Improving Coping Skills

I am grateful that I can better cope with situations that before stopped me dead in my tracks and I would freeze or isolate myself or turn to drink or overeating to cope. I would distance myself to manage my anxiety. I am learning and acquiring better coping skills to deal with those moments of my life.

Before, this was almost a monster in my life! I would completely avoid people or situations that intimidated me. Now I am learning patience, coping, lowering my expectations to be more realistic.
