So went on a day trip to Prescott and it was really nice but the only thing is that I had a lot of anxiety over traffic and it was a lot of traffic even though it was Labor Day three day weekend. I'm fighting it every time I get around traffic it's better if someone's with me to calm my nerves I don't know why it's getting so worse but I'm working through it I think everyone can relate But I just don't wanna get the best of me I enjoyed some ice cream and thrift shopping up there the weather was nice to

Silentsketch thanks for commenting I really feel like in the heat of the moment with the traffic and all the noise and everything I just need to focus on myself and getting across the street is one of those things I have to do it’s hard when I’m alone but trust me it’s worth it to work through the anxiety it’s crippling but once I breathe and refocus it gets better

I was in Chicago in February and the traffic there was insane. Coming from.NYC I thought, "Pfft, piece of cake." Nope. Never again. Best part of Chicago was leaving it.

I tend to get anxiety when im in lines for some reason it never fails if im in a store. Driving can be a trigger in lines on the freeway but mostly when im in person. I almost never drive because of panic attack worries. Its almost worse the fear of having a panic attack holds me back from most things that cause me anxiety. Its gotten so bad im really behind in doing day to day managment.

See I don’t drive but I have the same crippling feeling when I’m having my anxiety attacks I don’t know what it is but I just have to move through it because it’s just a lot of feeling that I have to get through trust me if I did drive I’d probably have the same problem luckily I don’t have that issue because I don’t drive but I don’t have anxiety in lines but I do have anxiety about checking out my stuff at the self check out maybe someone can relate

I know it's very easy to give into those worries and simply not do whatever activity you were planning on doing. But I think it is awesome you said you don't want to let that anxiety get the best of you. Thanks for sharing, I have trouble letting anxiety dictate my life, I am working on it, but it feels like a losing battle sometimes.

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    First, I hope everyone is doing well, and continuing to fight that good fight! Keep up the great work on yourselves; I'm rooting for all of you!So, I started doing therapy at the beginning of the year, when I was in my most depressed state, but with my therapist, I made big changes and steps in the right direction. But, over a month ago, she couldn't take my insurance anymore, and I had to stop...
