Anny, well we go to visit my Dad in law. We also usually go out once we are down there and I do enjoy myself once there. It is the car ride that is always a challenge for me. And yes you are correct my setback has been due to so many changes in the past five years. I lost my mother my little girl had cancer and moved to the city. It was just too much in a short time. But I am working my way back to being more "functional." I decided to stay home today cause I truly believed that another full blown panic attack would have set me back again.
I just came out of a bad set back I had last month. I was afraid of everything again. Being home alone. Walking the dog. Moving the car. Driving locally.
But this month that is all back to normal :) So I thought I would give myself a bit more time to build the confidence back up again before I tried something that generally stresses me out i.e. going to downtown Manhattan.
Oh 9/11 also set me back for a bit it took me a few months to go back downtown after that happened. But I did managed to start going downtown again in time. So I guess I figured if it worked before doing baby steps and positive self talk it would work again.
I feel I'm so close to taking that plunge to going downtown again just what day who knows. Thanks for the words of encouragement :) I really appreciate the feedback. Hopefully soon I'll be emailing you about my latest adventure in Manhattan :) Mimi
