I went out again for a walk this morning with Mom! First thing this morning when we got up we went for a walk! It was nice! Mom wanted us to stop and look at one of the blossiming trees. I got nervous for like a second standing there while Mom looked, but I made it through, praise God! See, first thing in the morning when I wake up, before I do anything else (except go to the bathroom) is the best time for me to walk, because my body doesn't quite have a chance to feel fear yet. So since it's Spring now I'm going to keep doing that, I did it before a few years ago and it worked for me.

That is fabulous! You should be very proud of yourself!! Don't beat yourself up for for not going around more than once. It is great to start out slow. If you go too fast and do too much too soon, you set yourself up for failure. Congratulations! Keep trying every day and don't give up!!

thank you vickers, guess what? I went walking with Mom this morning. I only went around once though, she went twice. It is a beautiful weather day, but I still couldn't make myself go around twice. She's about to go out again but I don't think I'm going to do it.

Hey Squarepeg! The only way to get over that fear is by forcing yourself to go. In doing so, you prove to yourself there is nothing to fear. It will be hard and it will take a few times before the fear starts go away, but this really is the only way to do it. While you are out there, you need to talk positive to yourself. Say things like, my heart is beating extra fast because I am exercising and this is normal and healthy. Or, I'm feeling dizzy only because I'm feeling a little anxious about this but I have been through panic attacks before and I know I will get through this one as well. Start slowly if you need to. Maybe just by walking half way with your mom and then going back. And the next day, go a little farther. Keep doing it and prove to yourself you will be ok and you will beat this fear. As new fears come up, use the same method. I find I have to do this over and over because I get over one fear and another comes up. I'm hoping one day I'll run out of situations to be anxious about so I can get over this once and for all. ;p Until then, I just keep trudging on..... as we all do. Hang in there! You can do this!!

Hi Squarepeg, This may be an issue that you could address using the online program here. You could make this one of your goals and work slowly through the program at your own pace. Many members have had great success with using the CBT program here. Keep us posted, take care. Casey _____________________________ The Panic Center Support Team

Everyday @ 4pm, my mom goes for a little walk around our courtyard. I used to go with her sporadically, but I get scared and had panic attacks. So lately, I haven't been going with her. In fact, I hate when she goes, because it makes me feel bad for not going. Everyday I think I'm going to go walking with Mom, but then what happens is, I start dreading 4pm, and by the time it gets here, I've scared myself out of going. What can I do to get over the fear?
