Hi Anerol,

It was so good reading about all the progress you have been making...I am so very proud of you and it really makes me feel good to see you blossoming into a beautiful flower..You will have your wings in no time now and you will be free to fly anywhere you want to...

I was able to get out and drive a little myself today and went for a walk at the mall and later did a little shopping at the health food store for fruits and vegetables.. It felt really good and lifted my spirits...The anxiety was really very mild once I got out the door and I did better than I expected..I had a good time too...

I will be looking forward to reading your next update....

As always,

Red

We are very pleased for you. Sunny is sitting across the table from me. We share this computer. And more. Pretty heavy exposure hey. And it shows some times. You really can do what ever you want to when you beat this and we pretty much have. It is a good feeling for sure. It is also weird to have such a lack of anxiety after so many years of just generalized anxiety and then the years of panic attacks. The thoughts and triggers are still there they just don't do anything anymore.

Davit.

Hi Anerol: Do you remember when I answered one of the educators' questions: "who would you like to meet and share a cup of coffee", or something along those lines? I had written, Davit and you and here I am! We have been emailing for a good yr. and it just seemed right to meet and discuss the affairs of the world - lol. I first came in May - flew over 3,000 miles and was invited back for another stay, so here I am. I've learned a lot about greenhouses and gardening and even drove a tractor. I've noticed he hasn't asked me to try again. haha. Anyway, real pretty country here with bears and deer in the backyard, yes, both of them. One likes the apple trees.

So yes, a negative thought for me would have been travelling by plane - I don't like flying even if I can do it - and another negative thought would have been, I can't do this because it is so far and I'll not know anyone. Put the fears aside and try something, so what if a few nerves happen, they'll pass but the opportunity for exploring and having fun, learning new things may pass you by. I don't want to be on the sidelines anymore and I bet most of the people on this site don't want to be either.

You sound as thought you are doing well going forward. I'm happy for you, keep the faith and the good work,

Your friend, Sunny

Hi Red, Thank you! I'm glad you read and liked my post.

Hi Sunny, thanks for the encouragement. I often think now nerves and fear just interrupt everything when it's only a thought.

Hi Davit, thanks for sharing. You and Sunny met? I agree that when we can do what we really want to do we will do it. I let myself dwell on my success so that I can really sink it in my brain that I can do this. I often think how I can remember this successful feeling when I get disappointed. I have done a few painting but like you said, I haven't had much time.

Over the weekend we did a yard sale and it was a fun day. I only got anxious after eating lunch and during clean up but not when people came to buy stuff. I felt I had fulfilling two days. Then, on Monday, I went out for a drive again. I did get anxious but I still survived. I also drove a teeny bit again and that was ok. But I was happy that I did it. I was happy that I still tried and that I still survived.

Hi anerol.

Congratulations. Success starts with one accomplishment at a time. The hardest part for me is letting go and actually enjoying myself. Like for me, I can drive but have had no reason to leave the valley in a lot of years. I had to drive to Jasper to pick up Sunny. It was pouring rain and could have been a miserable trip but I put my cell phone in my pocket and just did it. The sun came out and driving in a city all came back to me. I actually enjoyed myself. There was a bit of anxiety waiting for her bus when a tour bus came in ahead of her and people were crowding around me but it passed. Mostly because I was doing something I wanted to do

I wanted to think about how the car is old and the tires are not that good but I didn't let myself.

I put it on the shelf so we could enjoy the hour and a half drive through the mountains. The sun came out and it was like if you think wonderful life will be wonderful. I think it could have rained and still been wonderful.

I allowed myself to dwell on my success for days after to get it ingrained in my head that this is a normal thing to do and that normal people can do this so so can I.

Today we are going to town and I have had too much coffee. I know it will be a bit difficult but I will do it anyway because I want too. It will be fun if I want it to be fun. But still it is hard to make an unwanted chore fun. I think a forbidden chocolate bar will be a good reward for my trouble. So nice to be paid for doing what I have to do anyway.

Keep posting, so good to hear from you. Are you doing any painting, do you have the time?

Davit.

Good morning: Way to go Anerol "on a roll". So happy that you tried driving, wooohoooo. Keep the faith and trust in yourself that you have all the know-how experience in you already. I sometimes feel nervous cooking in front of people too. I keep telling myself you know how to do this, you are a good cook. It's performance anxiety, somebody watching me. Same thing as public speaking. This feeling may come but it doesn't take anything away - we're still knowledgeable and able to do our task. It's like an intruder and I tell it to go away or just ignore it. Takes practice but don't give up.

Your friend, Sunny

A few Saturdays ago, I had a bad panic attack (as I wrote in one of the discussions). I thought I'll never leave the house again because I was very disappointed that time, but guess what? I went out. I went to the library and I even got most of the books I wanted that they had. It was even packed in their with a lot of people. I was anxious but I didn't have the panic attack nor did any of my usual fears came true. The next day, I went for a very small short drive also and tried driving again a teeny bit.

I think every time I long on here I will up date on my accomplishments here. If anyone would like to join, please do.

My accomplishments:

1. Yesterday, I cooked dinner while everyone was home (anxiety trigger). I did get anxious but I did it and it was delicious!

2. Today, I did the laundry and cleaned the house. Felt a little fatigue but the house is clean and I'm not fatigued anymore, as of now.
