I FOLLOWED AN AMBULANCE

[hopeful]

Driving home from work this morning I had to move over to allow an ambulance past,the lights were flashing and the siren wailing.The ambulance followed my route home,turning left,then right.By the time we reached my turning I had convinced myself they were going to my house,that it was for one of my family.Luckily it passed straight by.
When I got in my house I felt sick and my neck was hurting so bad as if someone had given me a karate chop. I rang my husband who said there are hundreds of houses in the area and why would it have to have been going to ours. He made me see sense,bless him.
I started to relax,got the lads off to school, went to bed for a few hours and now feel ok. this just reminds me that my anxiety is always just one step behind.
Take care

Hi Julie

Im just the same, i think we always fear the worst, only last week i told my husband to turn the car around and check, as a fire engine went down the end of my road. Mind you he didnt hesitate, he dosnt suffer with anxiety but he is good at leaving the oven switched on !!!:D

love

I remenber a few years ago, (when I didn't think there was anything strange about my behaviour :D) being detoured past an accident on the road. I convinced myself it was my hubby and daughter. I drove round the block and tried to get in from the other side but of course was detoured again. So I parked up and walked down, not to the exact place, just near enough to see that it wasn't his car.
Later on I thought, those police must have thought I was one of those accident watchers!
