Today I finally drove for the first time in a few months. After the accident I rode in the car to and from appointments with lawyers , doctors, etc. I had panic attacks if the person driving stopped suddenly or a car cut them off. It felt like my breath was sucked out of me , like everything was in slow motion , and like it lasted for an hour. In reality it was in my mind , and only masters for a few seconds. I knew that I had to think rationally , I had to think about the five years I had driven and not gotten into an accident or had any issues . So finally the attack as stopped .
Now onto the driving aspect , I wasn't sure how I would feel driving if I'd have a panic attack or how I'd feel. On top of that I was going to have to drive Stevens car .. His super nice mustang . Not only had I never driven a mustang , but it was the love of my life's car he loved . That is what made me really nervous lol. So today finally I just did it drove from my house to Sheetz and it felt amazing ! It feels even better to overcome a fear you have and realized that once you get out of your own head so many things are possible !!
Feeling brave , confident , and happy !!
