Hi! Georgie, this is a topic I really can relate to cause this is definitely my biggest fear!!!! I'm afraid to ride in the car
with anyone other than someone safe. This is my big frustration. It seems so silly but for me it feels huge. I do fine
driving myself or my children or with my husband or mom but add another couple, a load of kids or another parent and
I panic. I think my fear is of what if I have a panic attack and want to escape and i can't. Or what will they think of me.
Or what if I need a bathroom cause my stomach starts churning, sorry if that is to personal but this frustrates me to no
end. My children are are at the age where carpooling is unavoidable but I do the best I can to avoid it. I know this is not
healthy and I don't want them to know my irrational fear. When I feel good and able to drive them I do and it feels great
but I really avoid it at all costs. I'm hoping to really over come this but it feels impossible.
Reading how you successfully ride the bus repeatedly, I can feel your wonderful accomplishment and appreciate the effort
you are making and you should feel really great about your successs!!!! I'm celebrating with you! I use to be fine in most
of these circumstances so i'm hoping I will see and get the mindset that I can go back to being unafraid.
Way to go you are doing great! I'm really envious!!!!
Birdie
