Yesterday was another good day for me:) My mother and I had to go to another town, anout 80 miles from here. And since I am agoraphobic and she's currently having a small bout of depression we asked our friend to drive us there. Imagine - two people who aren't very keen on travelling going through Poland!
But it wasn't bad at all. I had Xanax with me in case something should happen but I was able to challenge my anxious thoughs as they appeared. REALLY! I had a few episodes of them there and back but I was successful with positive talk. When we came back to Lodz (where I live), we went shopping to the mall, another one of my monsters. And there I would use humor to help me survive my anxiety, xanax was left home and all forgotten about.
And I have to tell you that I haven't taken any benzo since February and that was when my doggie had an operation...
Agoraphobic but a brave one;)
Hang in there, it is POSSIBLE to get over those attacks.
Thanks for support, Iwona
