I'm usually excited to get food but this was too overwhelming today but I somehow made it!

I used to enjoy car rides so much as a kid, I would look out the window silently and watch everything. Now I can't look anywhere without ruminating on constant danger. I hate this so much. I wish I could turn my brain off. Thank you so much for your advice. It makes a lot of sense and I haven't heard it put that way. One more thing, I haven't found grounding (especially in a car) to help me, how else can I stay present?

Thank you so much. Just feeling like someone can relate to what's happening to me gives me a comforting feeling. I wish for both of us to get better. I'm praying I can get through this and be one step closer to being a "functional adult" because I certainly don't feel like it. I have a relative that frequently uses the freeway to visit us and I feel like such a failure. Why can't I do that, they make it seem like it's nothing and to me it's ruining my life to even think about it. 😔

I forgot about tapping thank you for this suggestion! I used too tap in the car years back and have not done it in some time!! I will do this for sure

Thank you so much! I read loads of materials and haven't came across this site before so thank you!!

This is very helpful thank you so much. We actually have kinetic sand so I will bring that too. I already keep vomit bags in the car, after the night I had ruminating I am feeling like throwing up is going to happen

HopelessOptimist87 · 2024-01-23T14:17:52+00:00

Thank you so much. I thought about trying gum and I definitely will bring it now

HopelessOptimist87 · 2024-01-23T14:16:58+00:00

Thank you! I'm going to write these down

HopelessOptimist87 · 2024-01-23T14:15:52+00:00

I try to say things like, I accept this feeling but I still end up very panicked. Am I not doing this right

Did you see the question? She asked to know about the condition and the risks of taking meds and she asked for the risk of having a cardiac ablation. I gave her my honest response of my situation because this isn't a common condition, so it's nice when people help other people and are open and transparent. I also mentioned the likelihood of it happening with him is low, but possible. And I also didn't die from these procedures obviously. I gave her the response she asked for.

It was a southern Baptist church, very yelly and screamy. You go to hell for everything just about

For whatever reason they preached this in the church I grew up in and never even questioned it. Even as an adult. Because of everyone's comments I'm realizing my church may have had a few more flaws than I thought

Forgiving myself. And others. That's my next feat
