These two videos were shot this past Sunday. They show my attempt at driving to the mall to buy new shoes. Hope you like them.

WARNING: If looking at someone who is anxious upsets you, these videos are not for you. I'm serious! I don't want to be the cause of any anxiety.

Part One - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=natHEgAIU4U

Part Two - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqOY3JbtpdQ

After I watched these videos I got to wondering... When did I grow another chin? Is that something you can find out on Google? Whats with this Lifestyle Lift I keep hearing about on TV? Is that covered by my insurance? And whats with that voice? Is that what I really sound like? If it is... thank God I'm hard of hearing! W00t

Dear friends, I am not a doctor or therapist. Any advice or suggestions I give is strictly my opinion and should be regarded as such!

Perry :)

Perry! I have tears streaming down my face right now, I seriously could break out into a full out sob season any second!

You did amazing! So, so, SO proud of you!

I felt your emotions second by second. There were a few parts/things that really got to me.

1. When you said that you just didn't feel right. I know that EXACT feeling, and I hate that feeling.

2. When you said that it was cloudy, and you don't like cloudy days. One of my biggest triggers is when it is cloudy and I cannot see the sun. I feel almost chlostrophobic. Do you feel the same?

The thing that got to me the most was your eye movement. I felt like I could see what you were seeing, and feeling how it was making you feel. I notice when I am very nervous, I have rapid eye movement as we.

I want to thank you, from the bottom of my heart for posting this video. I always knew that you guys knew how I was feeling, but actually SEEING it, wow, i have no words. Thank you!
