Big achievement (for me)

As some know I am currently on new pills which make my obsessive thoughts slightly better, not at all cured but better.
One of the things the thoughts (used to) stop me doing is driving a long way or on big roads.
Yesterday I managed to drive around 80 miles from my house to a destination. Including a bit of motorways. Then my parents took over for the rest of the day. But I am very pleased.
Thanks for reading.

durhamjaide2001 Community Co-Production Group, Scope Member Posts: 10,829 Disability GamechangerOptionsWhat treats did you buy @66Mustang?
-
That's really good news @66Mustang - what a great achievement.
-
@durhamjaide2001 I bought some cheese and some Baklava/Baklawa - if people don't know what that is it's like a Turkish pastry made with nuts and lots of sugar syrup.
Thank you @chiarieds, it's funny as I feel like I could do it again...when I have done one of these little achievements in the past I thought "glad that's over with, hopefully a while before I have to do it again". -

Good on you @66Mustang. It is a BIG achievement when you manage to do something that previously you were loathe to do, especially when you feel you can do it again. A good boost to confidence levels.
