Anxiety is back

Just when I think that I get a hold on anxiety a couple triggers come along and get me. It is snowing right now and it is expected throughout the overnight. I have a 45 minute drive in the morning before the plows come through. I have been driving myself to school this semester, my ride did not pass her classes so I am on my own. Driving is hard for me on the good days much less on the yucky days.

Plus clinical is tomorrow and I just cannot get a grip on it yet. I am usually fine after I get there but I have anxiety up until the moment I am on the floor. Just knowing I usually do fine does not keep the anxiety at bay. Plus tomorrow I am in a new area, a one time trip to the ER. Trying to figure the anxiety out...am I more anxious about the drive or the time at school?? Maybe a mix.

Thanks for listening, just needed to vent.

Sending P&PT's your way, Lisa. Remember to breathe & think positively. Maybe they'll surprise you & run the plow. OTOH, being out so early, you'll have the road all to yourself & won't have to worry about unsafe drivers. I always think how much fun it is to be one of the first people to make tracks. Try to look for the *good* in things. You will do fine in the ER. The pace is faster, so you won't have time to think about anxiety. Let us know how it goes. It sounds so exciting to me. It's like re-living my childhood:) Good luck! (((hugs))) jan

Lisa,

I hope you have a great day today and it was nice to see you in chat the one time I

finish a test,than get to go home and surprise you are there,that was neat.I am so envous

of you going to ER,I bet you were the best there. I can dream threw your eyes until the

day I get to do it. I am sorry it triggers you and the drive,but you inspire me when you

just do it.Even having those feelings,wow major courage,truly. I wish I could stand up to

my triggers, maybe one day.. but until then you do inspire me more than you will ever

know.
(((Big Hugs)))
