My gift to myself for my birthday is a tattoo from a tattoo artist I love who's in another city but it's pretty close like 40 minutes of highway, it takes me that time to get in some places *inside* my city so no problem technically.
Except driving still terrifies me and I haven't in a highway since driving school and I get nauseous and sweaty over driving around the city normally and I'm still avoiding going to many places. So I'm doing a couple test drives with a friend from here till the end of March so I can try going by myself then lmao
My therapist is happy about it and said it's a good plan (it's in our plans to address the car thing so I don't need anymore test drives anymore or avoid driving to so many places but it's a long way to there) and I could try to go one more time by myself with her on the phone and be on the phone with her too when I have to go there for the tattoo. But I already have plans to be on the phone with my friend cause she's used to it. Not the first time I have her on the phone to go somewhere so at least if I die I don't die alone. Or that she helps me go on test drives because like, going into the underground parking or the grocery store is scary to do alone the first time lmao
