I used to Google "nearest exit" at any building.
Twitchy (my anxiety) had me doing more pre-trip research than a NASA launch. Twitchy was thorough and exhausting.
Planning around panic teaches your brain that panic is worth planning for. Breaking that loop is exactly what this account is about.

The most dangerous place for someone with GAD isn't a dark alley.
It's a buffet line. Or a movie theater. Or a Trader Joe's on a Saturday. Twitchy (my anxiety) treated all like active crime scenes.
If your fight or flight response has ever activated at the sight of a checkout counter, hi, same. 🙋

My brain has a better memory than any cloud storage — and it saves my most embarrassing moments.
Anyone else haunted by ancient cringe? 😩 Tag a friend who does this too.

My panic attacks used to last longer than most relationships.
Twitchy (that's what I named my anxiety) was COMMITTED. No ghosting. No "I need space." Just full send, every time, in the dairy aisle.
The attacks don't disappear because you got brave. They shrink because you stopped feeding them.

I once drove 45 minutes to a restaurant and ate in my car.
Meanwhile, Twitchy (that's what I named my anxiety) was in the passenger seat, seatbelt on, reviewing the menu like he'd been invited. He had not been invited.
And yes, you can learn to kick Twitchy out of the car. 🚗
