Getting out the door—and closing the circle
I wrote the first part of this while the panic was actually happening, to help myself settle and sort my thoughts. I had a 1 p.m. appointment at the bank to open an account. At 12:35, I started getting ready. Got my clothes. Got my shoes. No glasses. No backup glasses… when was the last time I saw those? I don’t always put my glasses on when I get up, and sometimes hours pass before I realize I’m not wearing them. Panic set in. I raced through the bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen. I turned the recliner over to see whether they were underneath. While hunting for the glasses, I realized I didn’t have my driver’s license either. How in the heck can I open a bank account without it? I’d been shuffling papers around during the week. Two days earlier, I had noticed that my license wasn’t back in my wallet. Did I retrieve it then? No. It was a sort of pseudo-registration in my brain. Me: “Driver’s license not in wallet.” Brain: “So noted. Carry on.” The information registered, but it never became an action. Now I really needed it to get the new bank anccount. The panic escalated. Fortunately, I was able to reschedule the appointment. Then I noticed something fascinating: I immediately wanted to play Sudoku blocks on MindPal to blank out the feelings. Instead, I stopped to settle myself. Racing around on a fruitless search was only making me more frantic. My goal was to interrupt that familiar pattern. I intentionally stopped and engaged in a breathing practice. I breathed in for four counts, held for seven, and breathed out for eight, repeating several times. This pattern is known as 478. Once I settled, my search became more calm and systematic. Within five minutes, I found both my glasses and my driver’s license. I felt exasperated and frustrated, but I wasn’t calling myself names. I was trying to understand what had happened. I still don’t understand how to get myself arranged well ahead of time before leaving. Like, when exactly does preparation start when I’m busy doing other stuff? How does that work?

@Teresa Duston thank you. I am not dwelling on it, but that was something different, for sure, and not a good situation. I'm sorry for all the troubles you had with your trip. That sounds so frustrating. No wonder your intestines were very unstable. And how much they charged you for the rental. Unbelievable! It's sad that they treat someone like that, especially when you were dealing with the burial of loved ones. I get why you want to decline the invitation. We don't really do vacations anymore because it is so difficult for my husband to get around. It just isn't really enjoyable when someone has to put forth a lot of effort and go through a lot of pain just to get somewhere. That's good thats you are protecting yourself and taking care of you and your nervous system! Keep up the good work! ❤️

Hey! Nice to be amoung great 🧠
Hi. I'm Echika, 29 (almost 30 ☠️😝) I have 2 little ones 5 & 7 years old and i was diagnosed when I was 24 (ADHD & Autism) Since almost a year I developed quite a bad case of anxiety due a series of stupid stuff that happened in my life in a very short period of time. But I really started working hard on myself. Especially with trying to focus on one thing at the time and get more of a routine back in my life. I stopped my medication when I moved to another country to get more peace in my life. So I have been off my medication for almost 3 years now. I really hope to get inspired by all of you guys✨

@Echika Rose welcome! Thanks for sharing. Glad you are here with us. How did the stopping of your medication go for you? Do you feel like you miss it in any way? Just curious. How interesting that you moved to a different country! That must have been a real experience. Welcome again! We are all here if you have any questions.

I missed it, too, Yavanna. I'll be waiting to hear when it's posted. It is usually posted in the classroom. I'm sure Renee will let us know what's up with it. 💕

Shawn, when I was getting close, I found that if I did most of it the night before, it worked out better so I didn't miss the deadline. I don't know if that helps or not, but maybe an alarm like Linda suggested would help. Good luck getting back on track! 💕
