I won a small victory today from anxiety.
My wife has been working a lot of hours lately and really needed a day off -- one in which she could lounge around the house in her jammies. So, I drove myself to my counseling appointment in Long Beach. In addition to those miles, I crossed the Columbia River to Astoria to run an errand for a friend AND to go to Safeway to buy some nonfat frozen yogurt. I even drove through a tunnel.
The best part is that I did all this by my lonesome and I didn't have a panic attack. I was a bit on edge for most of the trip, but I was able to keep my anxiety to a minimum.
So, today has been a good day thus far. ;-)
