Just thought I would share this with everyone...As you know I am Bipolar and have an anxiety disorder so me and crowds don't usually mix. But, there is this college and career group at church that keeps inviting me to go places and do things with them. They were going bowling last night and I joined them even though I didn't bowl. The only bad thing was is the whole group met at Wendy's first and I didn't want to be the only one not eating anything so, I had 5 chicken nuggets and a couple of french fries. I should have just gotten a salad, but everyone else was eating the typical burger and fries. Oh well, it's over and I have already started over. But, I did have a great time. Everybody was so nice. I guess the reason I haven't gone out with them before is because of my weight and my social anxiety. I've lost alot of weight, but I'm still a BIG girl so I am always worried about sitting in certain chairs - you know are they gonna hold me? Am I going to break them? That sort of thing. They are having a Christmas get together in mid-December. I still haven't decided to go to that or not. Who knows maybe I'll get the courage to do so.

Take Care, Jena

Yay! I'm very happy you made it out. I gained weight to avoid being social when i got married (long story), but I actually missed it. It's really good to get out with people from time to time! KUDOS to YOU!
