So, my anxiety has been pretty non-existent lately. I had a trip that I was a little cautious about.. Florida. I was driving 800 miles and I hate driving through Houston traffic, but I did it! I drove all the way there and back and sat in a 3 hour traffic jam, bumper to bumper with concrete walls on both sides and didnt FLIP lol I just focused on the road in front of me and didnt entertain negative thoughts and walla! I've also decided to move to FL. I Love the water so much and its a beautiful state. I'm seriously so stoked and thankful to God! I hope y'all are all doing good and feel free to share what youre doing thats taking life outside of your comfort zone. This is also so big for me because I couldn't even drive 3 miles a few months ago. SO HAPPY!

Good job! Show the brain who is the real boss! And Florida.... I LOVE FLORIDA. Can't wait to go back!
Thank you! Which part did you visit? My favorite part is, Tampa and the surrounding areas, but i'll be moving to PCB here soon, Lord willing.
I lived in Lakeland and then Jacksonville for a while. I loved Jacksonville better.
My mom lives in that area. When I went to visit my anxiety was ZERO. The beautiful water, sights, smells! Good for you! And kudos on the driving...my driving anxiety comes and goes and right now it's 👎🏻.
I love it! And I look forward to your driving anx getting better
Are u taking meds? I'm trying to get where u at.
I never liked the idea of taking meds because I didnt want to mask the problem. My psychologist confirmed that meds weren't a good idea. So I found my issue was negative thinking patterns, even though I thought my negative thinking was from my scary symptoms (because they came out of nowhere), it was really just everything coming to a head. I changed my diet based on my blood type, I changed my thought processes, I devoted my life to God and I did something every day that I was scared to death to do. I stopped letting fear write my story and started writing it myself.
I'm happy for u You're doing good. I need to change something about me. Thank you for sharing
Amen. I'm hoping to get my blood type this week so I can change my diet and I have been trying to get closer to God. Very inspiring! Thank You!
That is truly inspirational I truly wish you continued success.
May I ask what you mean about changing your diet based on your blood type and where did you hear about it?
Also any tips on changing your thought processes?
(I have debilitating panic attacks and anxiety disorder).
My best wishes to you and your continued success.
Dr. Peter J. D'Adamo's, "eat right for your type" for the blood diet and as far as positive thought patterns. I started saying, "today is going to be a great day" instead of, "I hope I don't have a panic attack, or I won't have a panic attack today" the last two give the negative thoughts power. But if I don't even mention it or think about it, I won't have it.
Stay strong and you will be rid of it. I had lost everything from this and couldn't function. If it weren't for my family, I would have been homeless.
Good Job! Keep up the good work

Thank you David!!
I find you inspirational!
You were able to beat panic with derealization without medication and self talk. That is amazing!
I am going on 31 years of fighting this and I've been on medication for 20 years of it. I'm in such a crisis right now. How do you snap out of it.
I know you don't over think but i need help. To snap out of the derealization.
I am just so scared again
Amazing! I struggle driving and have done for a couple of years now,I do it but my anxiety creeps in. Well done you😊x
