I DID IT! I conquered a fear!

I have driving anxiety and I have one busy bridge intersection that I’ve avoided for years. It’s the quick way to our pediatrician and with two sick kids in the car I decided getting there sooner was more important than my unfounded fear. While sitting an ambulance came through making my red light twice as long AND THEN my little one got sick all over herself as we waited. And I did great!!!!

Jeff1943, For some reason, when I "do the thing that scared me" I can't repeat it easily next time. This is the bane of my existence.

Wow 😲 well done. Just goes to show if you can overcome your anxiety in an emergency then you can learn to do this in other situations. Well done again 😊
