Grocery store line

Just got back from the store, was waiting in line to fill a birthday balloon for a coworker. They were taking too long and I started getting agitated and anxious. Before I knew it I was dizzy and my heart was racing so fast & I felt it. Was about to run out and yell out “nevermind!” But I waited it out and paid for the balloon and got it. Ugh horrifying :(

Kudos to you for sticking it out. Sometimes I can make it through and sometimes I just have to leave and accept that I can't handle the situation.

Ugh I don’t want to have to leave. I hope to one day be strong enough to just let the anxiety pass by like a brief thought instead of a 5 minute battle

That’s me in traffic! Ready to just drive on the shoulder to get home instead of sitting at a light trapped for too long

Do you listen to podcasts? My therapist recommended listening to them on my drives

Yes they do help a lot but sometimes it’s still just hard to sit there
