Hi, everyone! I logged on to the internet today, checked my bookmarks, and when I saw "No More Panic" I thought, "WOW! I haven't even thought about posting there, because I've been feeling so well." So, I decided it was time to check the success forum.
I have been reading the posts here, and agree with so many of them. This site has helped me tremendously. The best thing I learned here is to tell myself "You're not going crazy. It's just anxiety." You wouldn't believe how much that can slow down the onslaught of panic.
Anyway, I haven't taken a Xanax in 3 weeks. I went to the car wash yesterday! That's a big deal for me. See, when you pull in, you get in a line of cars. Pretty soon, there are other cars in line behind you, and there's no way out. That's what usually triggers panic for me - being in a place (especially in the car) where I can't get out. I felt a little nervous, but it was all over before I knew it.
Next challenge - the dentist.
I will try harder to make it a point to visit the forums regularly, even when I'm feeling good. I owe it to all of you.
