I'm sick of spending all day, every week day, all by myself. I need to get my car checked out, so that I can drive …
Got myself into a kind of black mood today. Had to drive quite a distance to turn in my 48-hour Holter …
I rarely remember dreams. And I've never had a recurring dream without a great period of time in between. Even …
You'll be fine!! You're strong. Remember that. XOXO

Did you talk to your school counselor to see if there are any programs or reduced counseling fees anywhere. They might have an idea for ya. If not get the Anxiety and Phobia Workbook by Edward Bourne. It's great for anxiety. I'm sorry you don't feel well. Trick is to not let yourself start avoiding things if you can. If you start doing that you will have a bigger prob on your hand. It's ok.. everyone has been sick one time or another and has had to have someone drive them home. When you feel better get out and drive. Really think you should check into that book and talk to your school counselor and tell them what is going on and see if they have any ideas to help you. Hang in there... I will pray for you tonight.

Yes, do go to the counseling center at school. They can help you. We have all been there as far as driving. Don't let this one incident set you back. You are a strong gal. Hugs...

maybe u could check to see if a church, school, or the health department in your city offers therapy. im sorry about the panic attack. you could try to start off small like just driving to a nerby store or something till you get comfortable again. or offer to meet someone (like a friend or something) somewhere so u have motivation to get there. hang in there hun. im here if u need me

Hey Morgan, I'm so sorry about the panic attack in the car. The same thing happened to me a few months ago and I had Chase and his friend in the car taking them to Lacrosse practice. I was anxious before I left and when I left to go pick them up, it got really bad. I almost had two wrecks cause I was so panicked I didn't even see the cars and pulled right out in front of them. I dropped them off and called my mom and she talked to me while I got back home, which luckily was close. Anyway, I got really afraid to drive after that too. So I would just take a 1/2 xanax before I had to drive and I did fine after that, stayed alittle anxious sometimes, but it got better soon. I'm telling you this, because I understand exactly how you felt, but to let you know that I got better pretty soon and you can too.. Maybe you can just try to drive the shortest tiniest distance you have to, just to prove to yourself that you will be okay. That's a start. And like everybody is saying about the counselor, I mentioned to you before school started about checking with the school. There is bound to be free counseling services, I thought there were at most schools.. Hang in there, and please check into counseling , if not at school, then check with the local health agency, they may offer free counseling too.. thinking of you, I hope things get better soon.. love XX mom2
