Thinking Back

As I go though my daily routines I often think back to when the Anxiety was at its worst. Just simple things like driving was the most stressful situation.

There is a road near my house that is a 2 lane road that curves around. I can still see myself driving, judging every car that was coming close. If they swerved what would I do? I think that road is about 2 miles. I would white knuckle that drive and hold my breath the whole way. I was so scared.

One night my husband and I were driving to dinner and he decided to go that route. There we are driving along he has the stereo blasting, singing along and driving all relaxed. How could he do that? Those were the people that I was consumed with. What made them different? Why did they not feel the way I did. Why couldn't I be like them?

The other day I took that road home, I have avoided it for a long time. I suddenly found myself with the windows down, the stereo on, and I was singing along, as relaxed as I could be. Now, this didn't all happen overnight. It was a long fight.
