I thought I've been doing good. Yesterday I had a bit of a set back & didn't go anywhere. I just didn't feel up to driving, felt very nervous all day. Today I woke up feeling shaky and still anxious. I forced myself to drive down a couple of blocks, my dd was kind enough to bear with me :) I was on the verge of crying when I came home & did end up taking a xanax, something I never do anymore. I think I've taken 2 in the last 2-3 months. But I just couldn't shake the feelings & was getting that off balance feeling that I hate so much & haven't had in several months. I have my 1st test at school tonight, that could be on my subconcious mind. Also, my mom was pushing the issue of me driving alone yesterday, which made me feel pushed into a corner. Of course I couldn't even consider doing it already, but it upset me that she kept on about it. She doesn't understand anxiety at all. I really didn't want to drive today, but keep thinking of Jan & how she forces herself to go out every day - my inspiration :) Any thoughts?

LOL. So true ... it's hard to see it when it's yourself, lol. I went to the airport then stopped at the grocery store on the way home. I didn't want to get out of the car, because I felt anxious & I was so nervous, but didn't want to wait in the car alone either. I went in & of course - did fine. No anxiety whatsoever! Go figure.
