RE: Day 859: 5 Minute Freewrite: Helpful Weaver

I know all too well about behaving badly in situations like that. I refuse to drive over a bridge and I have been a passenger in a car when someone else was driving over a bridge. I had a panic attack and some people were shocked at my behavior. Others will not understand unless they have walked in our shoes. Such is life for those of us who suffer with phobias. Avoidance is key for both of us.

Wow! That is the first time in my life anyone completely understood exactly what I experience. I've got the bridge thing down Ok, as long as I don't look down. But cliffs, forget it. Ingrained. I've tried everything. Doesn't work. Just a horror. Well, friend in phobic reactions. Nice to meet you :))
