There are certain places I can go to, and others I still avoid. Recently, I managed to drive to a city I hadn’t been to in over eight years to go shopping. A few days later, I went back there with my daughter to visit a zoo. During the second visit, I had a strong panic attack, but I was still able to enjoy the zoo and afterwards felt really euphoric for having done it. It may not seem like much—it was only a 20-minute drive—but it’s a place I had avoided for years, and I finally managed to go.
