hi gayle...just wanted u to know that wednesday and thursday of this week i was able to get around by bus...i have not been able to ride one for a month and a half and i think this is a good starting off point to beating this stuff...i stayed close to the driver(just in case)and wednesday went fine but thursday i had to get off at our local mall as the bus was getting too crowded and i could feel myself becoming panicky again...but the walk home was nice...only takes me 15-20 min to get home from the mall...i was ver proud of myself...it's amazing what is so easy and everyday for people to do is such a challenge for me...know what i mean?

i do have a session to go to this thursday at 630 with the Panic/Anxiety group...it will be my first one so wish me luck...i will be meeting with the leader(maryann) at 615 to talk with her one on one first (get a comfort level before the rest show up)...there will only be about 4 or 5 coming including me...she has urged me to do what is comfortable for me(ie talk amongst these people or just be a spectator of sorts, or if i find i can only stay for a few min that's okay or i can manage to stay longer that's good too)...i will for sure let you know how it goes...
