Wow I did good today!
I went shopping and was able to manage my anxiety throughout the whole trip! I didn't break out into a cold sweat, I was calm, took things one at a time.
My anxiety crept up on me on the way back home and by the time I got back my anxiety was way up. But that's ok, I had a win today!
I took my T's advice and did things how I wanted, drove how I wanted, strolled through the store how I wanted, picked up the things I wanted to get. That's really rare for me - I'm usually doing things in the context of what others expect from me.
