Hello. I just started the program yesterday. I've been homebound with panic disorder since Sept 2003, but I've had anxiety since 1996.
I haven't been in the grocery store longer than ten minutes since Sept 2005. This Friday Mom and I will be going to the grocery store after my visit to the Psychiatrist. I'm going to be out of the house a lot longer than I'm used to. A tiny part of me is excited, but of course a much bigger part is nervous. I've had panic attacks in the grocery store before. As it is, I can't even go for short walks around the block with my MOm everyday because I'm too scared. What the hell am I going to do when I'm in that store this Friday? I know I'm going to have to face my fear sooner or later. I was able to face it before, but I had a major setback, and now I'm right back where I started. I can't keep living like this I know, I'm afraid I'll get settled into my anxiety. At least going to the store will be something to do. Even if I do have a panic attack, I know I need to go. We need groceries, right? Gotta eat.[font=Century Gothic]Hello. I just started the program yesterday. I've been homebound with panic disorder since Sept 2003, but I've had anxiety since 1996.[/font]
