Trip Anxiety

Hello Everyone:

I had another semi-wasted shopping trip. I say semi-wasted because I ended up with a few things from the cosmetics department, much to mom's dismay. I think I'm ready for a clothing intervention. Mom offered to take me shopping early next week and I think I'm going to take her up on it. Part of the problem is I've done too good a job convincing myself that I don't need anything new and I don't look good in anything.  The other part of the part of the problem is I haven't bought myself anything for so long that I don't know what do in the clothing department. I can understand shoes, underwear, makeup, and running gear. Actual clothes: dresses and everything else, I can't figure out. I know I can't walk around all day in running gear. I mean, I can and call it athleisure. Really, no. My thinking is what's the point if I never go anywhere. Regardless, I should still make some effort. The UK trip is also weighing heavily on my mind. I'm trying not to show it but I am getting very anxious. I'll be fine once I'm in motion but the preliminaries are stressing me out. Anyway, I try to take one thing at a time and breathe.
