My sister took me to the ATM at the grocery store.The one here is out of order.
I followed Darleen to the ATM.And the hole way I felt like I was in a whirlwind.
Then we went to the Drug Store.I needed something to eat and get my med refill.
I was so dizzy and couldnt think.And every time Darleen said something I kept saying I'm sorry.
When there really is no need to.I said "I dont know where this is coming from.
I payed for my supplies at the front registar just fine.Just nervous and alot of anxiety inside.
Next we went back to the pharmacy to pick up my med.The woman got my meds after 5-mins looking in the drawer.She rings me up.and says $49 something.I panicked .Then said "Not my medicine.
I gave her my insurance cards and they staraightend it out.My co-pays are zero to 3.10..
Dar said she saw the painick in my face.I was white as a ghost.
Then I got all nervous some more because it was taking so long.It was 20 of 3.She has to be at work at 3.
So I said let's go a few times.To which she said no we can wait.Well inside I wanted to run out of the store and rid myself of all this anxiety.
Well I didnt to good this time.I'll try again and again.
How went your day?

Hi Doreen
Well at least you made it though with some problems but you did it and that is the important part. Maybe your next trip out will be easier for you.

Doreen what you need to focus on is the fact you wnet to the store and nothing happened. You are safely back in your home. You need to take more ventures out like this to convince yourself.
My aunt was like you and after heeding my suggestions of many controlled short trips was soon going out alone and did just fine. All she had to do was retrain herself to not fear the outside.
