I want to say thank you to everyone who sent prayers my way this weekend and told me I could do it. My brother got married on Saturday and I was a bridesmaid. This presented two very different high anxiety situations. The first being that I had to be in a car for a while to get to the wedding. The second being the mere thought of standing in front of all those people for any amount of time. As most of you know, I recently weaned completely off my xanax. This weekend went wonderfully! I had psyched myself out and was almost expecting to freak out and it never happened. Well, I take that back. Saturday night I had a panic attack. My mom (in from California) and my DH talked me through it and I was fine much sooner than I would have been with the xanax. Today was also a huge test. We had to take my mom to the airport in a city about 2 1/2 hours away. That's the longest I've been in a car in a very long time. But, everything was fine. I made it and feel great. I really feel like everything is going to be okay. Things between DH and I are getting better now that I'm off the meds and he's being very supportive. I just wanted to fill everyone in on my wonderful weekend without xanax. Thanks again for all the amazing support!
Hugs
