Rambling Rosie's Retreat

Everyone will be far too busy worrying about their own exercise to be thinking about you, if that's what you're worried about?
Well that's one of the things.

I'm borderline agoraphobic and this is gonna really push me way past what I'm comfortable with.
New place
New people
A group class
Possibly unfamiliar equipment

Then there's the fact that I'm really very unfit and I don't know if I'm even going to be able to manage simple stuff.

But I'm going because hiding in my house, being afraid of the world, is getting me nowhere
 
I have a friend who's the same (although I guess he's familiar with his equipment by now :ROFLMAO: ). I didn't realise until the other day that it doesn't just mean "outside the house", but (for him) is mostly about people.
It's just the unfamiliar. Not having control of where I am or who I'm with. Not knowing the building, the exits etc. If it's gonna be busy and loud and crowded or if it will be quiet and I'd be more vulnerable. It's hard.
Safer mentally at home technically but I know I'm just hiding here.
I hope the instructor is supportive.
Yes me too 🤞
This is the biggest step. I don't know you very well at all, but I'm proud of you for taking it!
Thank you. I appreciate that.

Good for you to take these big and positive steps, take things at your pace and I am sure it will all go well. Sending you all the good wishes 👏 (y) 😊
 
I got signed up for a membership package thingy. Arrived too late for the class as the local public transport is poo but I still got to have a good look around at the facilities and I asked lots of questions.
I think I'm gonna be ok there. If it's busy I can just get on a machine and listen to some music or something and just do my own thing.
But the state of worry I was in this morning was crazy. I've been tense all day. Anxiety is so rubbish

Belated birthday greetings too.
