just went and ran a couple of errands without my husband, for me this is huge, I don't even like going places with him :) i sooo want to believe all this stuff i read about panic and depression, that to face the fear and do it anyway is my key to wellness but damn I hate feeling all shaky, feeling like people are looking at me like I am strange, feeling like i need to keep moving, not being focused, etc. I hate hate hate that feeling,, especially the shakiness and dizziness but darn it i am determined to see this thru, to give it the time i need to make it less traumatic. I did use the thoughts can't hurt me to keep going but the movie of going nuts and ending up in a mental hospital keeps playing in the background. Those thoughts are so well set that I can see why it will take time to retrain the thought patterns, arrggg, still stressin about the tooth too. That something will happen to end me up in the hospital
