Last week, I drove 35 miles to the airport to pick up my husband. Had to drive over a bridge and park on the fourth floor of the garage - both scary for me. But I didn't have any attacks! Thanks for this board, it's really nice to hear about other's accomplishments - makes me feel braver knowing that other people go on with life despite feeling the same way I do.

yesterday, i drove about about 10 or 15 minutes on the highway, with my husband in the car. haven't driven on the highway in almost 2 years! then, dropped him off and went to old navy shopping by myself for a half hour. i have gotten into a habit of NOT trying things on (ie. get me outta here ASAP!), but yesterday, i took my time to browse the store, despite being anxious (no panic attacks!), and tried a bunch of things on.
this morning, i went to the grocery store alone and got our groceries. been over 6 months since i've done that. pretty proud of myself these last couple of days! I think this message board topic is a great one! positive, and not encouraging obsessive thoughts. thanks for this one!
I went shopping the other day for 20 minutes in Kohls. Just long enough to buy a shirt. I haven't gone shopping in over a year! Thanks for all of the support guys ;p

good for you, i know it is hard to go through panic attacks alone, but you will survive and you will be stronger. I don't know if you are a christian, but what helps me is walking through the panic with Jesus and having mental imagery to help me, it is still hard but since I started doing this, the panic does not go as long, blessings to you and I am proud of you for being brave to do it by yourself, steacher
Today I had a panic attack and have a big fear of being alone and that if I am something bad will happen to me. But instead of phoning my bf to come over and keep me company I decided not to avoid it and get through this one alone. Although it is hard I feel like a stronger person!
Hi!
Today I went to the mall and actually made purchases. Usually I get anxious and dont want to go into change rooms to try anything on, but today I actually did and felt fine. I also booked a trip to the Dominican on Dec. 17th and am working up my courage for the vacation. I wish success for all of you!
Sarah,
I was very inspired by reading your post. It has been a long time for me since I was able to go out to eat or watch live bands (two of my favorite things to do). Hearing that you were able to do that witout the panic or fear was great. It gave me some hope.
I know that going back to work seems like a big risk but with the little baby steps I have taken lately, I find that the fear of the situation has been so much worse than the actual situation. Every time I have taken that "risk" and come through to the other side, I feel just a little stronger and more in control of this strange panic disorder. Best of luck on your return, I know you will be great.
Cheers, Lolita
Hi Sarah,
Congratulations on these accomplishments! It is wonderful to hear you are enjoying things. I know it is a little early, but I am sending you best wishes for your return to work on Monday. Let us know how your first day goes.

I went out to a restaurant for a social gathering with my husband's colleagues. Most of them I have only met once or twice before. I really enjoyed it! It's the first time I've been in a restaurant without experiencing any sort of panic for about 6 months.
After that, my husband and I went shopping at Old Navy (I'm pregnant and NOTHING fits). Its was loud, bright, and busy. All the things that used to flip me into a panic attack quicker than anything. I did great. I tried on 8 different things, wandered around the store, and had to LINE UP AND WAIT to pay for our things. I was also able to recognize the difference between being tired and being panicky.
A breakthrough!
On Monday, I go back to work after a 3 month medical leave. Anyone who wants to send positive thoughts my way on Monday would be greatly appreciated.
Sarah :)
