Today is somewhat challenging but I'm trying to make the best of it. My wife and daughter are headed to Las Vegas for a work conference and this is my daughter's first time on an airplane. I had been looking forward to this trip for over a year as my wife and I had a number of plans for our stay and were even going to stay some extra days. Unfortunately with my severe anxiety issues, I was strongly advised to take a leave of absence from work and as such I'm not able to attend the event. It's bitter sweet but probably a blessing in disguise as I don't know how my claustrophia would impact me while being on a airplane, in a crowded airport, or even dealing with the likely large crowds in Las Vegas.

While I am calm and relaxed today, last week was a bit rough for me. I currently see an in person therapist for Cognative Based Therapy (CBT) and also a virtual group therapy for Dialect Based Therapy (DBT). I just started the DBT sessions a few weeks ago and it's been a bit rough for me right out of the gate. These sessions are to provide coping strategies to help with anxiety. Along with general anxiety, I also suffer from claustrophia and being involved with a group of people I don't know (even in an online environment) tends to increase my anxiety.
