This morning I had my first MAJOR anxiety attack while getting ready to drive for the first time in over a month. I was dizzy, nauseous, and my eyes would not focus.

With my Agoraphobia, I don’t get out very often. It takes advantage of me when I am down and lately that is way to often. Approximately 4 weeks ago I had surgery to debride my foot wound. Since then I have had to limit my activity outside the house. My car is a piece of junk, it needs brakes and exhaust plus the drivers seat is broken, where it connects to the floor, on the left side.

I had to stand outside the backdoor and visualize myself getting in and driving. I was sweating profusely and it’s cold and windy outside. Finally after several minutes I was able to get in. I drove once around the block and came back home. That was such a major issue and I am glad I proved to myself that I could do it. I gave myself a star for the day.
