I made it through!

[tnt808]

It's been a while since I have posted about myself, but here goes (it's super silly I know)

My family and I drove to the other side of the Island on Sunday, it is such a beautiful drive. As we're driving we were able to see a few water falls that look like little silver necklaces. We were having a great time. Even through this wonderful time I had this gnawing feeling the whole time. I am a great actress (as we all are w/this kinda stuff) I smiled, laughed at the appropriate times, etc.

The gnawing feeling was there because I knew we had to drive back. Now this consists of driving over what looks to me like I am just suspended in the air by nothing. Sorry if you can't picture it. We're extremely high up and I can't see what is holding the freeway up. It is so scary! So, I tell my husband that I feel panic coming on, instead of giving in I get on the cell phone and call someone. It's madness I know but it helped! I made it through. I know this pales incomparison to other accomplishments, but part of my flying phobia I know has to do w/heights.

My anxiety has been so sky high lately that I am just proud that I made it through such a silly thing as this!

Well done on coping - great news.

Every achievement is an achievement however small you may think it is.

You did really well to cope.

My Dear Tina,

Oh it sounds beautiful where you live. I am so proud of you and it sounds like a huge accomplishment. Never compare yourself to others. I think anyone would like to see that they are not suspended in air (at least I would)! What a great idea of how to cope too. So very very happy for you.

Love you my friend,

Laura

Hi tina,
Well done.
You should be so very proud of yourself.
When we go to visit our friends in lancashire we have to drive over a bridge called Thellwall viaduct. My god im petrified. Years ago i would think nothing of it but my fear just keep getting worse.
I focus on my mobile phone while my hubbys driving and end up sending txts to anyone in order to keep my mind occupied.

Take care
LYNN xx

That's fantastic!! You rode it out...got through it and carried on. I really admire you! I'm starting to feel my fear but find letting it pass very difficult.

Hope you make that journey again soon and can really enjoy it now!
