Hi Fireman this B, I think I intoduced my self to eveyone as belowseabut i didn't like so Ive changed it to B. Anyway I just wrote Diva as she said she was having difficulties. I gave her some information from my psychologist gave me. It might also help you maybe I don't want to sound pushy or anything but it seems to fit with what you are going through now. I hope it gives you some help. B

Hi Fireman1, I understand you so well. I should have been doing exposure work and have been doing very little of it. I'm already on week twelve and have not done half the work,I'm so afraid of fear. Sounds funny, doesn't it? to be afraid of fear. Well, I don't know how to get my courage up, because at home or if I'm holding on to someone I walk well, but if I don't have support, I freeze, no matter where I am. BYW, I'm afraid of falling.

Hi fireman1, Thanks for sharing your thoughts here on this. Panic while driving has been a very popular topic here. You may want to take the time to look through our old posts here using the search feature if you were interested in others experiences with this same concern. Sometimes it can be very helpful to know that you are not alone in your fears and concerns. You have the right idea - start with smaller goals first and then work up with each success. Please keep us posted. You can do this! Casey _________________________________ The Panic Center Support Team

Well I figured this was coming. (EXPOSURE) Facing your fears is one of the hardest things in life you will ever have to do. But theres no other choice. My Fear is driving alone, long distances from home. Long distances to me is over 8 miles away..lol..I hope I can make it through this part. My goal is to make it to wal-mart by myself and do some shopping by next Wed. which is only about 6 miles from my home. Day one of Exposure...Im dreading it something terrible...
