Today we celebrate kingsday in Holland , people will go out on the street selling stuff they no longer need and other will go out to buy stuff.
In short it's like one big garage sale :)
and people like to wear national colours , red white and blue and Orange .
For me it was a personal challenge to to go in to the crowed with camera and face my Agoraphobia .
for those that never heard of that before : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agoraphobia in short i don't go out on the streets on my own i always need someone with me, but it's improving things like this i wouldn't dare to do 3 years ago.
And lucky me there was someone willng to go with me :)

Mick, I didn't know about your condition, but thank you for sharing. I always feel that if we all share our demons they can't come and haunt us.
Years ago I read a book called So B. It by Sarah Weeks; she was not particularly famous author then, perhaps not now either :) This particular book came into my kindle as a "one free book of the month"; these are books by new authors; self published people and stuff. But the story is so striking (she write for young adults mostly) I still remember vividly. The reason I brought this up, is in that story there is a wonderful human being with Agoraphobia; and it was a extreme case. But throughout the book she struggled with it and lift herself above it at the same time. She is not the main character of the book, but the her condition plays an important role in the book.
I don't know why I thought about "S B. It"; and I don't even know if you like to read books at all; but if you do, I highly recommend it.
Pictures came in beautiful, and yes I know about that lens :)

this Demon came with my Burn-out allong with depression , back in 2008 .
It's strange to learn that you fear things that you never did before , and that you are actually no longer in control the way you used to be . I will look up the book and when i find the time i'll try to read it .

Hoi stresskiller, erg dapper van je dat je je niet tegen laat houden door je angsten !
Ik heb over 15 jaar een sociale fobie gehad die ik gekregen heb denk ik na een traumatische ervaring.
Het is een nachtmerrie ik weet daar alles van en ontzettend frustrerend.
De dingen die je altijd gewoon deed, en ik ben een erg sociaal mens, dat die opeens vreselijk beangstigend werden.
Jarenlang therapie, hielp niks.
Toen bij een zelfhulp groep gekomen en daar ging het stapje voor stapje steeds beter.
Wel met ondersteunende medicatie (Reapam)
Sinds ik CBD druppels ben gaan gebruiken heb ik er bijna helemaal geen last meer van.
Je kan ze kopen bij de drogist De Tuinen van het merk Jacon Hooy.
Er is ook een webwinkel.
Ik ben begonnen met 1 druppel, 30 sec onder de tong.
Bij de eerste druppels die ik nam, merkte ik na 10 minuten
dat er iets in mijn hoofd gebeurde.
Niks engs hoor :)
Ik heb het gevoel dat de CBD druppels een muur zet tussen beginnende angst en de daarop volgende paniek aanval.
Ik voel de angst komen en dan houd het opeens op.
Echt geweldig !
Ze zijn ook niet duur dus echt het proberen waard denk ik :)
Ik hoop dat je er iets aan hebt en bedankt voor al je mooie fotos die je met ons deeld :)

ik zal me eens verdiepen in CBD , ik zie nu met de verhuizing dat het al veel beter gaat me , andere omgeving , andere mensen geen nare herinneringen aan de omgeving etc. en we wonen hier pas een half jaar .
Maar als ik zie hoe goed ik vooruit ga hoop ik eigenlijk stiekem er zonder medicatie en medische hulp er weer uit te komen na 10 jaar .

This looks like a fun way to browse and shop @stesskiller I’m so happy you were able to get out and enjoy the atmosphere and the picturesque surroundings ......for your own benefit first of all and then to share these magnificent photos for us as well. You’ve captured the vibe very well and I just love the national colours which make appealing contrast with all the greenery everywhere. I have had periods of agoraphobia and know how it affects you so this must have been a very rewarding excercise for you Mick. The good thing is......you don’t have to think this condition is ‘long term,’ because healing is possible and I pray that you will experience more and more freedom in the future. 🌺
