How I did it
It made me
Proud of myself 
How I did it: 1. Sorted out what I needed to learn for the exams, and what could be left out2. Worked my bum off learning inbetween procrastinating3. Spent the last 2 nights before not trying to learn anything new but going over everything Read how I did it…
It made me
feel sexier
How I did it: I had got in to a really bad habit of eating loads of biscuits and chocolate while I was studying to relieve stress, consequently I just kept growing. I stopped buying biscuits and chocolate; allowing myself to relax properly and have some treats (like 1 biscuit a day). I lost a few pounds this way. Then I came home from university and started eating all fresh food and a better variteys of meals and made sure I didn't overfill myself when… Read how I did it…
It made me
Happy and relieved
How I did it: I really wanted to work as a waitress and not in a shop so I spent three days walking around handing in job applications to my local restaurants, bars, and Starbucks'. I also applied to towns further afield, and even in the centre of London which takes about an hour by tube to get to.

I never give them money though, although I usually do have some change to spare, mostly because it’s such a hassle to open my bag and then look for my purse and find some change in the middle of a busy street and sometimes it feels not a safe thing to do. I always feel bad because I love their music and feel bad at my not botheredness. So, when i’m pretty sure i’ll be somewhere where i’ll pass them, i’m going to beforehand put some change in my back or coat pocket ready to give them.

I want to make an account as i’ve been watching lots of videos where people talk about their social anxiety, and it seems really helpful to them and other people.
I finally got round to doing this last night! I recorded and edited my first video a few days and then I signed up last night. Now i’m just waiting for the video to upload and i’m done!
One thing I didn’t realise was how vulnerable I would feel putting a video out there, scary stuff :s But I guess it’s another step in overcoming social anxiety, accepting that you can’t control how everyones going to judge you and letting yourself be.
