So I've said before that I had a fear of driving and leaving my house.. Well today I went alone to pick up daughter from school, took her to Dollar General, then went to light up night at her school. People all around me but I was fine!! I was a little anxious driving because I haven't drove myself in months. I eventually calmed down and felt normal again! Prozac and the encouragement I get here has brought me a long way. Especially compared to even a few weeks to a month ago, I see a huge improvement! I used to cry and say things will never get better! And I know a lot of people feel that way but I'm living proof that things do get better!!

Awesome! Love that! Today I actually managed to leave the house and go pick out a Christmas tree. Yes, there was anxiety and shakiness but I still did it with a smile on my face, and made it home safely with a beautiful tree in tow!

And to end my day, I sat at Denny's for a late night dinner!! Haven't eaten in a restaurant since august!!
I am about
to increase my prozac so I'm sure I'll be posting about
my anxiety again. My psychiatrist told me that the first week or two will be rough but I made it through the start up period of meds so I know that I'll get through it again!!
