Driving

This past week I drove 3 times with my relation to the convenience store with numbers on it. Tonight I drove us to our old pharmacy. I took the residential streets until an intersection with traffic lights. There my relation told me to turn left. I said, "I don't think I can do this."   Now before we left i had just finished taking my regular night time Rxs. So that helped. 

The light turned green and I turned left into the right hand lane after making sure there were no oncoming cars to have an accident with. I continued until the next major intersection. Relation told me to wait until the light changed (Just like drivers training again). I turned right into a major street. I even went into a left lane and back before the next traffic light. "Boy, I hope a Sheriff didn't see that.", Relation said. Of course the sheriff station is nearby, but no deputy was on site. 

We get to the traffic signal before the pharmacy...I'm freaking out with anxiety; not panic just anxiety. Symptoms included slight tightness of chest and hyperventilation. I did my breathing exercises. I told my relation, "I don't think I can do this." And considered pulling over. It was easy to do at night. The driveway was for a gas station. Relation said, "You can do this. You can do this." I took deep breaths from the diaphragm again. The light turned green and I paused a moment before I crossed the intersection. I turned into the pharmacy and was relieved. Relation drove home as I was still recuperating (coming down) from the drive.
