Hello tricia. What you need to remember is it wasn't the bus that made you feel panicked. It was the thought of seeing the psychiatrist that made you anxious. Have you got a ipod etc. Put your fave songs on or read a good book for the journey and you will be just fine. Maybe take a bottle of water with you and you can also use it to dab a bit of water on your temples if you feel a bit anxious.

Good luck. You know you can do it. don't let the anxiety get the better of you. You own it and it cannot ever hurt you remember that.

i no its hard, but try & distract yourself in some way, & think about seeing your daughter & what you are going to do, concentrate on your breathing & you will forget about the panic.
Let us know how you get on
