I've been feeling a bit agoraphobic, and when I'm agoraphobic, I tend to not leave the house or leave the house only to return b/c of of my racing thoughts and body symptoms. Well, today I went in spite of how of how I felt physically and my racing thoughts. I let my mother know I felt anxious, and began to talk about my thoughts and used the calming breaths. I did it well. I went out and returned. I din't give in to my feelings. I feel good.

Well done! I'm glad that you had a positve experience today. It sounds like you really used your skills.

Thanks!
