An Adventurous Day!

Today I felt like nothing could stop me! A new employee started in our department today and hearing him get closer and closer to me as he was being introduced to each person made me have some pretty bad anxiety BUT it never turned into an attack and he seems to be a very nice person. I also received my grades today for this past semester and in the two classes I took, I got As! I'm not sure how that happened amongst the anxiety and panic. It was a really tough semester for me but I managed to get through it and that makes me feel great. I went to acupuncture tonight. It is just amazing for the stress and pains. I decided that I felt really great that I would not only walk over to my treatment myself, but I also took a trip to the ATM. This has been a place that panic has set in time and time again. But not today! I did have anxiety but it never turned into an attack. I was feeling so good at this point that I decided that I could cross the 4 way intersection which I dread each time I step up to it when I'm with someone never mind alone. I did it. I did it and I did NOT panic. I was anxious yes, but panic? no! I am so proud of myself right now. Yes these things are difficult but I can do it and come out alive. That is what I need to keep telling myself. I will not die. I will be just fine! It may be uncomfortable and scary but nothing is going to stop me. Today anyway :)
