I am starting to get anxiety when I have to go to far from my house. I have delt with this for about 20 years. At one time I couldn't drive into the next county unless I could only go by train. I have a retirement brunch to go to about an hour away. It is in one week. I will go but the anxiety about going has already started. It bothers me that I have issues with this. I think I just need to get out more, like into the city. I think I am subconsciously limiting my travel because of the anxiety. My friend asked me to drive to Florida with her. The anxiety I felt just thinking of being that far away from my home was numbing. I told her I couldn't because of my dogs. That I didn't have a sitter. But it was this overwhelming sense of being stuck in a car for hours, trying to not switch, and not being able to get home, that created the anxiety. Trying to be the same person for a full day is more difficult sense I lost my job. When I was working I had to be mostly one self. Sometimes when I get home I feel relieved bacause I can be who ever I want. I want to go back into therapy but it is difficult to find a therapist who has a back round in DID. I'll keep looking.
