Yesterday I went into town. I only really went as I wanted to walk somewhere other than the nearby shops. My dad still picked me up though. I contemplated walking back but my leg hurt and it was freezing. I will walk there and back sometime, I’m determined to.
I wanted to stay there for as long as I could (at least an hour – maybe two) but in the end I couldn’t because I went too late and most of the shops would have closed. I considered going to walk along the seafront but like I said it was freezing, plus it was starting to get dark. I also planned to go to McDonald’s to eat alone but I knew my dinner would have been ready when I got back.
Fortunately I experienced very low anxiety, but I was only there for about 45 minutes.
I really want to go to town more and branch out to nearby towns by going by train. But the problem is, of course, money. I have virtually none and I haven’t heard back about this tribunal yet. I am really bricking it about the tribunal. I’ve read that someone from the CAB can go on my behalf but it will still involve me sitting down with someone I don’t know and explaining everything about my condition – what I can and can’t do, etc.. It’s been over six months since I had the medical and about two months since they told me I would have to have the tribunal, and I have no idea what’s going on.
