Hi everyone!

My therapist challenged me to start this. I am emailing her a screenshot of this blog post to prove I actually did it. I am not entirely sure she will approve of the content, but that is on her for not giving me specific writing prompts. She could have said, *"Be mature and write like a grown-up,"* but she just said, *"Start a blog."* So really, who is at fault here? Me? I think not.

Here are the CliffNotes on me:

- **Age?** Yes, I am over half a century old. Quit reminding me.
- **Agoraphobia?** Check!
- **HRT?** YEP, 13 years, just added progesterone! Started regulated HRT almost a month ago through FOLX.
- **Social Anxiety?** Of course.
- **Loves Tacos?** Who doesn't!
- **Jeeps?** I love Jeeps. Be highly careful about getting me started on mine.
- **Antidepressants?** Can't you tell? Just in case: YES!
- **Self-Doubt?** Did you see my current existence?

**Tammy Dislikes:**

- Pickles.
- Herself (some days).
- Having to pee constantly (Thanks, Spiro).
- Chicken (Wait! Don't go, we can still be friends!).

Since I am actively working on my social interactions from the comfort of my dingy apartment, I am using this blog to track my goals—no matter how chaotic they get. There will probably be other crazy ramblings, and yes, I *will* get overly excited about mechanical changes I make to my Jeep (Consider this your second warning).Here are the "Crazy Ambitions" I am currently aiming for:

- **Short-Term Goal:** Start Electrolysis and stop talking like Barry White.
- **Jeep Goals:** Lockers, new fenders, a light bar to see the end of the tunnel, and a re-gear to make driving 70 mph completely impossible.
- **Long-Term Goal:** Move to an accepting area where I can safely live as my true self.
- **Today's Ambition:** Successfully launching this blog without closing the tab in an absolute panic.

P.S. I almost named this entire blog "Brought to you by Lexapro and the number 8," but I am currently on my best behavior and would absolutely never put that in writing.

So, there it is. I have officially done my homework.

**Useless Recap:**

- Therapy assignment completed under malicious compliance.
- Thirteen solid years of HRT, but the progesterone is brand new.
- Barry White vocals are officially on notice.
- Tab remained open; panic successfully managed.

**Disclaimer:** *Lexapro and the number 8 did not financially compensate me for this post, though my brain chemistry highly implies otherwise.*
