OMG I took the 1st step...

Last night Dh was going grocery shopping ( I had posted about it) I decided that I was feeling good and told him that I'd like to go.
We left the twins with my Mom so he could concentrate on me if I needed it.
I even drove there and actually laughed with dh. At one point I felt my body temp. start to spike up (the 1st sign for me) and I calmly started talking to dh and told myself that it was not real. It worked.
I am finally started to get back in reality. I have been in my own world for over a week.
I think the meds are starting to kick in.
The only thing is that I stil work up and my heart was pounding and I was shaking. I just hugged my babies and tild myself not to expect miracles right away but that I am making progress.

I am now starting to get scared about this happening again. I am in therapy and jtaking my meds... I know that I'm doing all I can but the fear is there and so real. I don't know how I've made it through the past week.

Thank you to all of you who have been such a great support system...

Way to go, Heather! I know that you will worry about your next outing, but put off that worrying until the time comes. Then, tell yourself over & over that you got through the shopping ok & you will do it again! Wishing you continued success! jan

Way to go! That's wonderful. And Janis had some great advice on taking it one step at a time, not worrying too much about the future.
