Every morning I wake up with anxiety. I think it's because I have to take my son to school. I worry that something will happen like I have a panic attack and/or pass out and can't get to him to pick him up. I imagine him scared and upset. I know that this is unlikely to happen because no matter how bad I feel I always manage to pick him up.
Anyways, went out to start my car this morning to take him to school. Had all the usual racing heart, sweaty palms, head felt funny and my car wouldn't start. ALL symptoms went away because I knew he couldn't go.
It is all in my head and I have the proof now. I need to somehow remind myself of that each and every morning. I actually had a pretty decent day as far as my anxiety went. Of course now dealing with the stress of money to fix my car, but I can deal with that.
So funny how our minds and body work!!
