Four years ago I survived two separate traumas with in a span of two months apart, the second was a violent trauma and both nearly killed me but the second was way worse and it's taken me years to get through.

What happened to me isn't important but what is important is I'm starting to get my independence back! I haven't left my house alone in four years, I haven't driven a car in four years. Yesterday I was required to drive with others and while the trauma I survived wasn't based around cars or driving it was still something I haven't done and I was nervous!

Today I had to drive someone to work and then drive home... alone. Driving home by myself was the first time I was alone outside my home in four years and I did great!! I'm actually excited to do it again and I'm starting to get back what I lost. Physically I am significantly healthier then I was before my trauma, psychologically I've been apprehensive but I am happier then I've been most my life, just not independent until today! Wish me luck?
