Today, for the first time in over 4 years, I drove on the freeway. Since my appointment 4 days ago, I have felt light. Anxiety feels different, or absent. Each day since my appointment I have tested my regular triggers to see if the calm I felt was a facade, it felt unreal to me. Each test I gave myself I passed. The things that would normally send me into a head spin with a racing heart, were just getting minimal, and some zero, reactions from me! Today I decided to try to tackle my biggest nemesis, the freeway.My backstory and the focus of my appointment was my fear of driving on the freeway. I couldn’t even be near on and off ramps without my heart fluttering and feeling light headed. My first panic attack happened at a stop light 4 years ago, right before I would’ve gotten on the freeway, and this is when I swore it off. I knew I never wanted to feel that way again, or put myself or anyone else in danger from my crippling fear and reaction to it. I’ve built up so much guilt and resentment for myself over the years, feeling inadequate. “What if my kids or another loved one needed me and we were not a quick backroad drive away?”, or “what if my child or another loved one needed me to drive them to a doctor appointment or hospital?”. Furthermore, “what if I wanted to take my kids in an adventure in a different city, or state”. I wasn’t able; I would do more harm than good trying if it involved the freeway and I’ve felt like an utter failure for so long because of it.Today was the day and I couldn’t be more proud of myself and so very grateful to Michele for this gift. I was smiling ear to ear my whole freeway drive today. It was short, because I don’t want to push too hard, but it was perfect.Thank you, Michele. I felt like myself again today ♥️
