I Faced My Fear Mood
Monday, February 9, 2009 | A Positive story

I did the drive on the highway (about 15 miles each way) all by myself. I had some anxiety, but not panic. I drove in the right hand lane and didn't speed up if someone came behind me.  Instead I slowed down and they always passed me.  I am emotionally drained but I feel good about myself for facing the fear.  If I can do it anyone can.Kiss

    That is so very understandable, but I am glad you are driving. I was in an accident about 10 years ago. My car was totaled, but I wasn't hurt, but it took me three months to even be able to get behind the wheel of a car again.

    But, before I knew it - I was just fine with driving again.

    But good for you! I'm proud of you!!!

    Hugs
