Posted By Discussion Topic: I Made It Through A Rough Drive     Dave 11-14-2004 @ 1:27 AM                              Member Joined: Aug. 2004 Just thought I would post this as a little encouragment to other people that have the same fears I do. I had decided to go to my brothers for dinner, and I knew it was going to mean panicking the whole time on the highway.  The day of the dinner, I woke up feeling spaced out and really anxious.  I thought the day was a scrub, but I decided to tough it out and try.  After almost getting off the highway from intense panic, my girlfriend talked me onward and I was able to continue.  I made it there and home.  Sure, I had alot of anxious moments;  But I went through them and past them.   Hope that might inspire someone.  You CAN do it.  It's not always comfortable, but you can. *s* rose 11-15-2004 @ 1:29 AM                              Member Joined: Apr. 2004 Good for you for working through it and past it.  It takes a great deal of courage so give yourself a huge pat on the back for all of your efforts.
