I have my 1st theropy meeting on Monday and I'm going to go with an open mind. I have been keeping a log book so she can get a general idea of what I'm going through.
This evening my husband and I went out for the evening and coming home it was raining pretty badly, and I started having an attack, I was so nervous, that I felt I was holding on for dear life. Then we were at this used book store and they have a basement, and I was so nervous about being in that building, I thought "what if it fell and I was crushed" just stupid things like that, or driving under a vie-dock, It petrifieds me and I don't know why, I used to be not like this and I just don't understand why I'm like this now.
