tomorrows a big test, need to travel to hospital 40 mile away!

[cat85pink]

So in 12 hours time I'll be on my way to hospital 40 miles there then of course 40 miles home,

Full of butterflys!

12 years since I've been 40 mile! It's a painful memory as my ex's car broke down in the town (near the hospital we are going to tomorrow) and we had to wait ages to get roadside to come help us as he wasn't covered, maybes this is the reason I've avoided the town ,

You can do it Cat :) Take some nice music to play and sing along to on the journey x

My hubbys driving us, this is the reason he passed his driving test 4 month ago, so he could take us :hugs:

Thanks
Im praying I get some sleep as my head is racing with negative thoughts,

[bernie1977]

Good luck Cat I know how frightening and daunting it may seem but you can do this x

[dally]

Good luck
Sing a long in your head to the songs
Filling as many lines of the song with one breath.
This will help you to slow your breathing and slow your anxiety
Also will help your thoughts concentrate in song lyrics instead of neg thoughts!! Xx

Thank you all

Today went brilliant I felt so bad I took a diazepam

Hospital went ok

Then we went to a fab shopping centre ive not been to since I was about 17,

Was brilliant being out together.

Im so grateful for your kind comments

[cat85pink]

Thank you

Its the first time in ages I actually enjoyed myself

I wish I could use diazepam more often it helps to settle my stomach & stop that needing to just run away feeling

[Jamesflames]

Go to the shopping centre again really soon and try with no diazepam! If you have managed to expand your 'zone' and had a good time you need to keep it going!
Good luck.

Sadly I dont think im going to be able to manage trying now

We just got the call a property we applied for 3 weeks ago is ours if we still want it, so my safe place could be changing, then packing (hate that) and moving. Stress! Right now I'm in the just take one day at a time mind set
