Hello Leanna, 
thanks for sharing your encouraging story. 
 
Today I've actually had an accomplishment too. I was able go pay my bill at the hospital. Usually I feel more secure when I'm riding the van but we went in the small car today and we also had to ride the elevator and I was able to do this too (although I was really really nervous and anxious). I can't even remember when the last time I had gone on one was. And after that the way home, I didn't feel anxious at all, just relieved.
 
The other day I saw a t.v. program about stress and how some people use stress to fight stress. They did all these experiements on people who are stressed and tested thier stress level and made them ride roller coasters or do something extreme like high dive and their tests showed that they relax completely after they do this.

I have known about a presentation I would have to do in Macroeconomics for quite sometime now. I knew I was nervous about it, but I didn't realize how stressed out I was. For the past three weeks I've had trouble sleeping, which is kind of normal for me. I've also have had a headache everyday for the past 3 wks. I thought it was something my doctor would have to diagnose.
 
Well, today was the day. I had to do it. I knew my doctor could write a note or could've just accepted a dock in my grade, but I wanted to succeed. I wanted to be like everyone else and present what I had learned. And I did it. I did it with flying colors. I didn't get dizzy or vomit or anything. I just did it!
 
As soon as I got out of my class, I called my husband to tell him. I noticed my headache was gone and has yet to return. This is certainly odd, but much, much better than having a panic attack. It's awesome. I have made soo much progress its unbelievable!! I feel so free!
