Wow that is amazing!!!People who don't even have panic disorder would be impressed!!! Because I think the dentist is scary for a lot of people. Way to go!! I'm celebrating with you! 
I just got back from a short little trip with my husband.  I hate car rides and it was something I planned for him but knew it would benefit me by taking a trip with him I knew I would enjoy. We had a real nice time. Just wanting to stay active and live my life instead of living in fear! This site is helping!!!!! Birdie

Congrats Mya and Birdie!!
 
and I hope you don't mind if I share my success I had yesterday
 
I went to the dreaded Dentist ..... (yikes!) .... I have had major panic attacks since I was about 12 going to the dentist ... and I have put off going
for about 5 years now ..... but I was having some pain last month and decided to go for a cleaning and some xrays ..... with the pain and the
xrays taken it was determined that I need a double root cannal on my 2 front teeth .... (dread!! ) .... so yesterday was the big appointment and I
was sooo anxious - had to make a couple of "bathroom" trips and was afraid that I would not make it back to the chair ... lol!! ... I brought my
Ipod and my husband along ..... and long story short .... while it was VERY unpleasant - I think I did ok .... I did not pass out - nor did I "freak"
out ..... my husband was great because he sat in the chair at the end of my chair and held my feet - as lame as that sounds - it was the best
thing he could have done for me ..... so while I had a little help - overall I think I tackled it pretty good... and felt sooo proud after I left ..... so I
had to share with you guys - I knew you all would understand what a feat that was and how good it feels when you make it through!!!

Mya and Birdie...
 
In a time when a lot of us are feeling "blah" or "not so positive"..lol.. It is so nice to hear about your successes!
 
I too am feeling much better and a lot of it has to do with this forum and it's members who have the courage to bare their intimate stories and fears.
 
You have all inspired me to keep trudging along and often make me feel as though I'm "normal" in a world that often feels a bit too "perfect"..
 
Mya.. I would still love to talk...hopefully we'll connect soon :)
