Hi AG,

Fear of the unknown is sometimes a big challenge...however, the more you push through the anxiety and face these situations. ..the easier it gets. :)

Lowering your overall stress levels with the use of coping skills builds confidence and resiliency, making your goals easier to reach...so keep practicing!

Peace and progress,

S.C.

I know one thing that helps me deal with unknown logistical issues like that is to have a plan. Know the exact location of place. Know exactly what time I'm going. Bring a supportive friend if possible. Gather as many details as I can, so that I can focus on what I need to and not stress about logistics. And usually once I get there, it's not nearly as nerve wracking as I anticipated. It's the pre-worrying that's the worst. I hope that helps and you get feeling better soon!

Postive mantra.. As you going to the store say positive things in your head and repeat them over and over .
It works for me

Good luck x
