Thank you! I can't take credit, though. My therapist (with the help of the Friends tv show) was the one who taught me how to do it.

I mentioned the episode with Chandler's wedding, how Ross breaks each part of getting ready down for him so he didnt freak out, and wished there was a way to do thaf in real life, cause i could do with a step by step guide and someone encouraging me to do it, and it must be the weirdest thing my therapist had to do, but she did it! She broke down every task I was struggling with into small, simple steps that I could repeatedly achieve and celebrate, and once I tried it out, it actually worked.

Like showering: first, I just need to find a towel. Then head to the bathroom. Then switch the water on. Then get in, possibly sitting down on the floor. Then I just need to get my hair wet... you get the point. Small simple steps make it so I don't think beyond just that small thing, and then take a moment to be happy I did that small thing
