I Made it!

[MichelleS]

I have to share these two episodes because I am really proud of myself with them. Friday was the first time I had really made an effort to leave the house since my daughter was sick with a sv. Not only did I leave the house..I had to drive myself to the dr because my husband overslept. I have a fear driving by myself not related to emet. I did it and am proud.
Then yesterday was the day I spent more time away from home than I had for awhile. We went to lunch..then visited with my Mother inlaw and then went to run some errands while she cut the grass. We came back to her house so Madison my daughter..could play iutside and drive her Mustang around the yard. When we got back my husband went to see her and found her sitting outside not looking well. He came back in to get her some water and told me we will be going home. I said okay...he said stay in here Mom said her stomach is cramping really bad and she feels sick. My husband deals really well with my phobia. But I will admit wjen I heard that my stomach bottomed out thinking she will be sick and v. I could feel the fear wanting to attack. After he gave her some water she felt better and we think it was heat exhaustion. She started not being so red in the face and the cramps never came back. She was really concerned about me because she knows about my phobia too. I was absle to brush the panic away and go outside and visit with her while she sat and my husband finished mowing for her. I will admit I sat away from her but then saw she really was okay. My 3.5 year old was helping grandma too. She went and got her a paper on a stick fan her grandmother has from a wedding she went to. Cardboard axtually. Anyway I was proud the fear did not control me.
