"Panic and Anxiety can be debilitating to your life. It will keep you from doing social events and limit everything you do. I have read an ebook that was very helpful in eliminating and controlling the panic and anxiety. I was afraid to go out and now can enjoy an evening with friends in a relaxed state. The Panic and anxiety book tells you what causes this and the best way to learn to avoid the anxiety attack before it starts." - Bindi Watts

Hi
I think because the journey is only 2 minutes is the reason why you are still struggling. Exposure therapy only works when the exposure is prolonged over a long period of time – at least 90 minutes 3 times a week over several months.

Try getting into a more positive frame of mind with regard to what you can do and accomplish. Its going to be very hard and SCARY, but its doable.

I think i believe that where i tend to think exposure doesn’t work (for ME), is that for the last SIX years i have been taking my son to school in the mornings and even still, now, after all this time its a struggle. A struggle to go TWO minutes…what the is that all about???
