Agoraphobics Moving Forward Support Group

This is a thread where we can share our successes- no matter how small they are!

Like today, me and Connie went for an unplanned walk! We did great! Didn't we Connnniiiiiieeeeeee?? I didn't really panic, but I did get a little lightheaded. But I made it around twice and I lived!

Congrats Mimi and Connie!!! All this new positivity has me inspired! Yesterday I drove about 5 miles. Today I made a 16 mile round trip! We can do it people!!! Lets keep this train rolling!

PerryM,

That is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mimi we did awesome on our walk !!! I have to admit that walking far alone is a panic trigger for me and I DID panic a little bit on my walk today because I pushed myself to walk further than I was comfortable with. Walking without the safety of a vehicle near by is usually an issue for me. But talking through it helped a lot And after the panic passed I walked further in the other direction also

Great job on your drive Perry

Mimi & Conn,

Awesome job taking the walk "together"

That is a great idea to talk to someone while taking the walk or getting exposure. It can really help to stop the panic and help lower the anxiety.

Congrats Mimi and Connie,

Yesterday I was able to get to Barnes and Nobles without Xanax! Usually I take xanax to get there. Cheryl

Great job on your driving Perry Perry! You're doing great! Before ya know it you'll be driving to hang out with that cutie pie grandson of yours!

Thanks Angel! It is very helpful to have someone to talk to when you are out..

Connnnniiiiiiiieeeeeeeeee you did fantabulous yesterday! I am so proud of you for going further! You might have freaked out- but you kept going and that's what counts!

Barnes and Noble with no Xanax look at you Cheryl! You never cease to amaze me woman you are truly an inspiration! Keep up the exceptional work!

Yay everyone!!!!!! How wonderful to hear all these successes!!!

Ok I guess I shall share mine. I went for a drive last night and stopped at my comfort/panic zone and stayed there for a couple of seconds. Some days that zone is so easy to get to others it is my panic point. I will get used to it. Really focused on it until I got another panic burst. That is one of the hardest things to do right now for me but I am staying positive through it! Only a couple of more houses to that stop sign!!! But I am determined. Thursday will be 19 weeks.

I am so proud of all you guys going out there!!! This is what this is about!!! You all get a GOLD STAR!!!

Congrats for all the victories!!!

Ok so I just came back from being outside doing my 15 mins. I think I did 15mins. lol seemed like it. Anyway I wanted to get the mail and hubby told me no mail had arrived yet. So I went to the mailbox anyways and decided to walk down to my neighbors house almost to the other neighbor all by myself. I told hubby not to walk with me just watch. So I went and I literal stuck my left foot to the edge of her yard and ran back laughing. hahaha. Hubby had the biggest smile on his face!!! Something new for the day!!!
