I finally started my first dutch class. I seem to be doing ok….though it is speeding up rather quickly. I am also trying to speak more dutch with my dutch friends, and with people at stores. Slowly, but surely.

getting better
3 years ago
I have gotten better at controlling my panic. I’ve been working on my self-talk, though it doesn’t always work. Since I moved to Amsterdam and stopped driving, I haven’t had one panic attack, so reducing my stresses obviously helps. When I was on vacation I had high levels of anxiety (ironic, eh??), but I was able to control it and never have an attack. It was still miserable, but at least I didn’t have an attack. I have also met some people who also have panic attacks, and that is very helpful.
friends that look like me
3 years ago
All of my friends tend to look like me, same skin color, same style, and same sexual orientation. Boring. I want to meet different types of people.
