Out the door

I opened the front door. I opened the front door oh my god.

My heart is racing like I’m in a car race.

I’m just standing at front door, like I’m frozen in this place.

Oh god I’m struggling to breathe, feel very lightheaded.

Wow 😮

Jenny, your legs will take you anywhere you want to go and bring you back again. You won't faint because of the lightheadedness. It's your brain trying to protect you from the dinosaurs roaming around outside by making you stay home because your brain knows you're experiencing high anxiety. But you can do without that sort of help, the dinosaurs are long gone, nothing is going to hurt you, 'jelly legs' won't ever let you down. So big breath, breathe out and just put onr foot in front of the other.

Not what you're looking for?
