i would go out and about without a guide dog, without a cane. feeling quite free. where are you travelling to today, madam? - we're travelling to edinburgh. i didn't really have many concerns about where i was going, or i didn't feel anxious at all. and what brought about my anxiety was feeling disabled by the world. i had a huge knock in confidence. i didn't want to leave the house, let alone leave the country. and i think that's why only now, seven years down the line, i am tackling plane journeys because i feel 0k enough to want to go to other places. it's honestly, so mentally draining after going to a new place as a blind person when you've never been there before. and i think that's why when i'm in an airport situation, i have to just say, "oh, could you please help me?"
