Yeah it took a lot of work to get to this point. It helps to get stable first. I can say when I'm out of the house for more than 4 hrs at time, I'm beat. I just come home and crash. Driving gives me anxiety sometimes so I've learned all the back roads in town that are less traveled and even they're busy sometimes but what can you do when the town you live in has 240k+ residents. I rarely take the highway. On ramps really give me anxiety, not because I don't know how to use them, it's the other people that don't understand how to use them that mess with me. My car is old and I can't gun it from a dead stop to get to 50+ mph within any reasonable time to get in front of a car doing that. Back roads may take longer, but it's worth it to be less anxious for me. Really the only time I take the highway is if I go to another city and there's no other options. I have to go to High Point a lot cause that's where most of my drs are and the drive on HWY 311 isn't bad, not a lot of people take it. It's a pretty straight road though and I space out and end up going 75 mph. haha.

Getting out of the house is something you have to work up to and it took a while for me. tbh I'd be fine staying at the house all day, but my husband is out of town so I have to run all the errands. I don't have much choice in the matter. I just wish we lived in the rich part of town cause that's where all the shops I like are so running errands would take me less time. haha.
