What have you done right now that you've been avoiding due to SA?

I had a meeting after postponing for 3 weeks. Feeling on edge and hyper aware now but glad I did it (I think)

This actually sounds really cheesy, but means a lot to me considering I aspire to be in the film industry someday.. but I started watching a lot movies and TV again. I couldn't really bring myself to break this routine I had where I would only watch certain videos and shows, but now I'm watching movies and getting inspired more. I hope it goes somewhere.

Maybe this thread title could be changed to just 'What-have-you-done-right-now-that-you-ve-been-avoiding'... I could post soo many more things then.

Finally went to the gym again after falling out of routine.

So imagine little ol me. Like to listen to my music while in the car. However, after 15 minutes or so, the car shuts off by itself to preserve the battery. I usually turn on the car halfway enough to keep listening to music. Works fine right? Wrong. Now imagine me, headed home, stopping at a parking lot of a shopping center to find do some texting in peace. I do my music thang with the car turned off. When it's time for me to go, my car won't start. It sputters an the "Check Engine" light flashes violently. I'm scared. I don't want to call my parents because I will get in trouble. I don't know how to call a tow truck or anything and I don't really know what's wrong.

There was a truck parked in the almost empty parking lot. Had large metal structure in the back. Used to move big things. Been there for a while, and on, so someone must be inside and not in a big hurry. I walk over and ask the (cute) guy inside if he knows anything about cars. I explain my situation and he says it sounds like the battery. He comes out, I show him my problem, and he says that it is the battery. He says he will jumpstart my car, and after a bit of trouble, I get my car running. He gives me some advice about what to do so it doesn't stop in the middle of the road. I thank him profusely and and shake his hand. Like a man.

I can't imagine being so scared of social interaction that I'd sit there in my car for god knows how long, knowing that it wasn't going to start no matter how many times I turned the key.

I'm proud of myself.
