I cant wait for the weather to warm up lol cause i want to put the plan in action but it is really cold atm and it makes it a lot harder hahahaha Hope the weater warms up soon!
Well in this case it is more like i didnt get stuck and lived A.K.A Fate wants me to take the bus!!!!
I was done at school and really wanted to go home. So i call up the the first cab company and it is an hour wait for a cab. The second one is 1:30 wait and the third one is so busy they are not even answwering the phones aymore. (Whats up with all the cabs being so busy anyway?) Then i realize nobody i know is home at that hour so i cant get a lift. IT is too far to walk (especially cause i am wearing shoes and it is below zero outside and i am afraid to exercise lol). So i start panicking and i am thinking i just want to get home to relax and i am stuck here and what is it with me getting stuck all the time!Argh i cant take this!!! And the more this goes on the more anxious i get and i am getting hot and sweaty ..... Then i tell myself. Hey there Diva girl! Calm down. You have options. You can either sit quietly at the library and read something fun to relax and wait for the cabs to be less busy or you can take the bus. Now taking the bus is a huge deal for me. Been bus phobic on and off for half of forever!!!! Since my relapse i have not been able to get on the bus. But i really did not want to stay there i am tired and i want to go home. So i grab my bags and my courage and ihead out to the bus stop. Luckily, it did not take long to arrive so I didnt have time to talk myself out of it lol. So anyway after two different buses. I get off at about two blocks of my house. And i realize i have to walk back home now, slightly up hill. I know this means my heart will beat a lot faster from the effort. So i prepare myself mentally to accept that my heart will beat faster and that is is normal and ok and that i am not anxious, that i am just exercising. So i walked home and here i am. I am glad it is through with but i am real happy i managed it. Now i can just relax and get on with my evening which feels nice. Thanks for listening :)

Hiya Samantha! I see you are having a rough few days. Listen there is hope for you and all will be well. You can do this ! You have it in you to beat this!
First of all it is normal that your symptoms are worse with the wedding coming. Weddings are stressful, they are a big deal. And then when the mothers and the mother in laws and everybody else gets into it, it can get even more stressful! So dont be too hard on yourself. It is ok if your stress is ab it harder to control. It doesnt make you any less of a good person, it just means your life situation is a bit more stressful lately. I know the time around my wedding was stressful and it was a very small wedding!
As for the depersonnalisation and derealization, it is normal to have those feelings with anxiety and panic attacks. Just remember that they are just symptoms of your anxiety disorder. They may feel uncomfortable or scary but they will not make you insane or anything of the sort. You will be just fine.
As for spending time with your husband and your son, I am sure you are a wonderful mother and a great Wife to be. But you have a right to have time for yourself. Time to heal and time to get better. I am sure everyone around you will understand that. But first, you have to give yourself that right. That right to take time for you and take care of you without guilt! This is a time to take good care of yourself.
As for beating this i know you can. We all can! I know you have it in you to heal yourself. First, i always suggest a good therapist. Having somebody there just for you really helps! I beleive in working the CBT program too. I am only on week two but i really beleive in this. Plus, dont be afraid to talk to your doctor he might be able to point you in the direction of a ressource that might really help!
Anyway, keep hope! Keep faith. You can do this!!! I beleive it, i truely do. Anyway, keep me posted!
