Anxiety and panic attacks

​

I finished sorting through all my clothes. 

It doesn’t look it. But there is ample space now. 

The clothes aren’t all pushed against one another and it’s easy to rifle through to find what your looking for 

While working in this I was waiting for my shopping from woolies to arrive 

It was here before I had finished. 

I use the door dash app and they’re very good at keeping you updated and are very prompt. 

I’m very had shoppers ring and ask if I would accept a product because the one I ordered wasn’t available 

This had been great for me. 

I’ve always been a homebody and during the early years of marriage had to be. Fuel prices were high, so I would only go into town once a week. Do everything I needed and then back home. 

I’ve never been confident driving too far from home. Basically because I was prevented from doing so 

My parents were very strict and I pretty much never left home alone I think this has been a big part of my lack of confidence 

I wasn’t able to build it in my formative years 

As I got older it slowly got worse. 

It hasn’t helped that I’ve been hit from behind three times in the last seven years. 

It also doesn’t help that I have begun to get lost. Even going to my parents house, which I lived in, I got lost three times last year. 

I have been known to ring hubby in years because I can’t remember how to get home 

It’s not frequent but enough to make me nervous 

My friends know this and will always pick me up when we go out together. 

And was why they drove me to the hospital to visit and pick up hubby 

So being able to do my shopping on line had made me a much happier and not as anxious all the time. 

It’s actually one of the reasons I stopped going to the pool. Between all the road works, detour signs and driving in the dark, I’d start to get anxious the night before 

I know I’m being silly but I honestly can’t help it. 

Last week I left the house just one day. To the post office which is across the highway from me and to the pharmacy, which is a 5-10 minute drive down the highway. 

Short simple drives. 

At least being an  anxious person prone to panic attacks is much easier in the time of internet shopping. I don’t know how I would of been if I didn’t have that
