Hi all,
Just wanted to post a little success I had tonight. I've had some hard times and tend to be very hard on myself so I'm glad I can post something positive here! I met up with some friends at a crowded restaurant on a friday night, waited for a table, spent over 2 hours with them and didnt have one wave of panic come over me. A miracle! I was so full of anticipatory anxiety I was shaking in the car on the way over. There was no doubt in my mind there were going to be bouts of panic since I was such a nervous wreck all day. I had my xanax in my purse just in case I had to run to the bathroom and pop one, but it never happened. I'm stunned how smoothly it went, I know there's a long road ahead, but it's nice to know socializing without so much fear is possible for me.

zoogirl,
Thats great!! That will start happening more and more and you get stronger. Good For You!!!
