Feeling positive finally

I was going to go spend the weekend at my boyfriend's house as I used to do every other weekend. Long story short in order to go now I need a dog sitter so most often he now comes to my house. After not going so often thinking about leaving my home and pets for a weekend has caused much anxiety before and during my visit. Okay, this weekend I made it through the whole weekend no Xanax used and no panic attacks. I'm feeling really good about this accomplishment. I have set cameras in my home to help monitor my pets, check that doors are closed and garage door is closed (OCD habits and anxiety). I was even able to go to a museum in the city and enjoy being out. I have been using many techniques and technology to get myself into a better mind set. Overall, I wanted to share that using whatever you need to do or use to make yourself feel comfortable and safe is worth it. I hope I continue to be able to leave my home and pets without panic and OCD fears ruining my ability to go or ruining my time while I am gone. Hope this helps someone.
