So...I went on my little adventure today...I had to leave class early to go, and while I was in class I was so anxious. i was shaking so bad. But as soon as I got into my car, I felt fine. When I got on the highway, I felt so free...kind of like the faster I went, the more I was driving out the panic and fear(dont worry I wasnt speeding). I got in the area a little early so I decided to conquer another fear...remember how I said I was afraid to go home because that was where I had one of my worst panic attacks? Well, I went home today and I was fine!!! I feel so proud of myself...not only did I prove to myself that I am ok while driving, but I pushed myself that much further and proved to myself that I would be ok when I went home. Also, my therapist is great. My whole family has gone to him in the past so he understood alot of what I talked about. This has been a great day for me. Now I know, when or if anyone in our situation asks me if they are going to be ok, that I can say yes with complete conviction. I know that if I want to be better, I have to confront my fear because nothing bad will happen. I really appreciate everything you all have told me. You all helped me so much. I really hope that we can all keep talking and helping each other...I know that I am not completely better yet and I know I will need more help along the way, and now I know you all will be there to support me and vise versa. Thank you!!!!!
