Me too, I’m facing the head of mine since I’m just starting to drive. I have three appts I’m driving to this week. I expect a good outcome, that’s all I can think. :)

I’m glad you’re driving. I still force myself to walk everywhere. I haven’t had a panic attack since the rains started. I wonder if the panic disorder is light related. I’ll have to do some research.

We’ve lived in the same house for 15 years. I have some health issues which are driving the large number of appts. Until now David took off work to take me. I thought I could do three appts in a week but I didn’t make one. It did bring on some quilt like I’ve felt when depressed but there’s no room for quilt. :)
