Have you guys ever done anything like that?

Yes I have driven home to check on something before or called hubby in an absolute panic wondering if I left something on, he works very near our home so it's easier for him to check. After hubby got grumpy about it and the price of gas went up I learned to just ride it out and let the panic attack happen and hope it isn't that bad. I carry my anti anxiety meds with me but it is still so hard not to drive home and I am usually out of sorts until I get home and check whatever it is.
