Riding In Cars With Anxiety-Ridden People
So, lately, I can't ride in cars. I really can't. Why? Because I have panic attacks every single time I get in one. Well, not EVERY time; for the most part it's every time we go on the highway. WHO THE HELL KNOWS WHY, but it is seriously uncool. Is it my medication wreaking havoc with me again? Abilify really does seem to ramp up my panic-attack potential.
Or is it because I'm preparing to actually take driving lessons and get my license, so I'm paying much more attention to what driving entails -- and I'm realizing how FREAKING TERRIFYING it is? I don't mind the idea of just driving around the simple two-lane roads in my town, but highways? Forget about it. Merging, switching lanes -- it's just not going to happen.
I'm 98% sure that when I do start my driving lessons, I am legitimately going to start hyperventilating and crying at the wheel. I don't want to do this, I don't want to drive, but I need to if I want to have even the smallest modicum of autonomy.
At any rate, this new little habit of mine made the drive to the Renaissance Faire verrrry interesting.

Day one: a song

Day three: a book/ebook/fanfic
Day four: a site
Day five: a youtube clip
Day six: a quote
Day seven: whatever tickles your fancy
