I DID IT! I conquered a fear!

[DeeM3]

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!!!!

You did great, another step forward.

WOW, do you think the needs of your kids, over rode your own fear of the bridge?

[DeeM3 in reply to Indigojoe]

Well, that and me thinking man this is dumb....

And it will be that much easier next time.

[DeeM3 in reply to Jeff1943]

That was my thought exactly

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 😊
