Hey guys!. I just had a major accomplishment!, I went on a car trip to San Diego ( I live in Arizona). This was a 6 hour CAR RIDE and we got lost on the freeway and the wonderful thing is.......I stayed calm when I hjad to help the driver look for signs for our exits. Now this is big for me cause GETTING LOST is a major fear of mine and I couldve gotten really irritated and blown up at someone but I DIDNT. Even before the trip we had drama trying to leave and I almost said "Forget this...i bet this already gonna be too anxiety provoking"

But I decided to stay and i had the TIME OF MY LIFE...needless to say the car ride back was a "trip" cause we cracked jokes...and I hadnt laughed that long in a long time. I think this is teaching me I can handle myself in stressful situations more. Now I just need to work on the self defeating stuff i add that makes a non stressful situation...STRESSFUL.
Thank you to the Attacking Anxiety program i did all those months ago. I still have panick attacks but thats because Im doing alot more new things than I used to and am having to figure out how my skills fit into these

I guess this is a "growth spurt?"

anyways, sorry for the long post but just HAD to share! THANK YOU!

Congratulations! You were courageous to go ahead and do something that you knew would probably bring anxiety. I'm so glad you ended up having a good time.
