Breaking the Habit with Breaking Dawn.

Posted on the 21 November 2011 by Whatsgoingoninleeannesmind @Mommalynyrd
After five years, I have taken my first step inside of a movie theater.
Having suffered so long with an ever growing mental illness I have realized that,  I need to take the Steps needed to break free.
I caught the 1:45 pm showing of The Twilight Saga's "Breaking Dawn Pt. I" with my cousin.
At 12:45 pm, I was already so anxious that I took 1/2 of my Xanax (and stuffed the bottle into my pocket for security if i need more later) to try and "break" the vicious cycle from getting any stronger before I even left the house.
I feel like such a waste when I can't even walk out the door without my bottle of pills like some kind of junkie. But, I have heard people say people who have diabetes don't apologize for being sick, and don't feel bad bringing their insulin along so I shouldn't feel bad that I need mine too.   (I guess the theory is a good one, but don't make me feel much better)
My cousin picked me up shortly after 1, but the panic took a spike before I got into the car. It didn't stop me. I just got in, I have my trusty "relax in a bottle" if I need it.
Breaking the Habit with Breaking Dawn. During the ride my Xanax really kicked in. I got pretty tired, but I was determined to do this. Breaking the Habit with Breaking Dawn.
We got to the theater, Its was beautiful! Like I said its been a long time since I had been to one and honestly I kinda forgot what they looked like on the inside. They had a very cute little Outside Ticket Booth that is open for sales in the warmer weather.

 The inside Ticket booth was nothing to write home about but I still took a picture of it because its a pretty big deal for me.

At first I was freaking out, I made it into the theater and there it was,  One of my biggest fears. Inclined Seating.
We at first went all the way to the top, It was a panic attack plus. I know the right way to break it was to stay there and not move down to the lower seats. But I couldn't do it, I battled the fear of the theater. and decided that I would take that one step at a time. The next time I go I will move up a row.
Concentrating on the movie made it much easier to be there. The movie was awesome. I am so glad that I went and seen it.
Some parts where better than I expected from my visualizations of the book. Others lacked the details I foreseen. 
All in all though I believe Breaking Dawn was definitely the best of the series. It was also my favorite book of the Series, which may be why I feel that way.
Of course the ending was predictable seeing as how they split it into two separate movies.  But it didn't matter. I cant wait till Part 2 comes out.
I will definitely be making more trips to the theater to see more flicks!
I had a good time.
