I have a phobia of putting air in my car tires.  Ever since I was a teenager, I always heard stories about how someone put too much air in a tire, it popped, and decapitated a person with shooting tire parts.. Of course, I believed this whole heartedly. 

I'm now in my late 30s, and I have still never put air in my own tires. I can change my tires, but I stop at putting air in it. I always get my husband to do it, or I would literally stand in front of a air pump at a store and ask someone to do it for me for $20. 

Well today, I have to do it myself. I have a very important doctor appointment that I cant miss. I won't have the time to wait around on someone else to do it for me. It currently sits at 28 psi. My husband told ill be fine to make the 2 hour drive up and back. But I'm going to have my daughter with me, so bc of the sheer anxiety of driving a low air tire with my daughter, I have to get air for it, which pushed me into a new set of anxiety problems. 

I know I'm not going to be decapitated if I put too much air in. (At least, I *think* i know that)  but its not helping. I've been watching you tube videos all morning on how to put air in the tire, and that's helped a little. But knowing my anxiety, the closer I get to the air pump, the worst my anxiety will get. 

This is just the worst, isn't it? 

Wish me luck. But knowing me, I'll probably just end up getting a Uber. Anxiety will most likely win today.
