Agoraphobia In The City - 3/11/24

Not everyday is a major #exposuretherapy day, in fact most days are small steps and wins. I had been to this medical facility with my parent before so I thought I knew what to expect, I just haven't caught the bus there with them. I breathed deeply and listened to soothing music. Also used a fidget tool to keep my mind occupied. I kept giving myself mental checkpoints and reminding myself it's ok to feel #anxious and to keep going. I honestly love feeling like a tourist in my city--discovering little gems and experiencing places I haven't been to in so long. I just have a really hard time on public transportation. Once we got off the bus I was relieved 😅 BUT then the doctor's office was so packed! Once I got home I took it easy to help my #nervoussystem regular after a full day of stressors. So glad I did it and no panic attack 🙏🏽💙
