Fear

I certainly isn't good for m or anyone to carry baggage, nor do I take prisoners. I don't see the value in it. I do not play games with my life or lives of others. Obviously we are well nad taking care of business nw..I like having control over my life again. Sandi

Fear of Arobics re: Mitral Valve Prolapse MVP

Maria, It was explained to me by a cardiologis,that taking the antibiotics helps to insure that any infection from mouth won't go directly to heart. And it will, if left unchecked. MrBubble, welcome back. MVP or any affliction of the heart is a very shakey thing. We worry, even panic with regard to having a problem in this area. I know that I do, do you Maria?

Fear of Arobics re: Mitral Valve Prolapse MVP

Spiritual healing is something that always ortifies me, strengthens me to face my fears, rather than avoid. It gives me the courage to go forth each day and do what I want to do. It is a purifying experience for me..How about you? Does it do for you what it does for me?

Fear of Arobics re: Mitral Valve Prolapse MVP

Yes, I have had to be that way when I had to learn to walk again. The alternative was to live there forever.

What is Agoraphoba?

Hi, Maria, This is a new website, so I imagine it may take a fw ays for the thing to catch on with others, meantime, if you don't mind, we can discus many things. I was most interested in your imagery of the "cloud". great analogy. I undertand the feeling, only I feel like this on a temporary basis. The most it lasts is a day or two. It may be here more, it is just that I have gotten used to being in the house so much, and I am so restricted as to what I able to do..it does not bother me any longer. I have this computer, and my TV, and my talent to get me thru. If I could only have my spine repaired..I need another miracle. maria..please send some positive energy to me if you can sare a little. I am thrilled that you were able to work thru those emons, and that you have made such great progress. You know there are a lot of people that never come back from that. I know you are aware of this, and I know that you know I care. There are lots of different kinds of suffering..eh? If you don't mind me asking, what is your new job? I'll bet you are thrilled.. and I am sorry I canot help you with employment matters. I remember when I had to dal in the Casino..I was so nervous I had to take a pill every 4 hrs just to tap in on that **** game. I had panic disorder very badly from when I was a little girl. Back then, they called it "stage fright". it was not recognized as a disease. I can tell you about the dealers' job though, if you want. I used to love to garden, and up until this past summer, I had a gorgeous garden. people would stop and knock on the door, just to tll me how great it looked..or leave me a note, that they drove by, I wasn't home and they sat on my dock and "enjoyed". There are nice ones left zi suppose...I think most are around here. Please write I enjoy..

Positive Self-Talk

Positive thinking is the basis for the self-talk. You need to delete all negatives and start thinking positive and put that in in place of the negatives. It it like a mantra, an affirmation. I can, I will, I want to. Pretty soon you will see some progress, and start believing in the talk. It snowballs... There are several types of people who have this negative self talk. They are The Worrier, who promotes anxiety. The Critic, who promotes low self-esteem. The Victim promotes depression, and The Perfectionist, who promotes burnout and chronic stress. Do you recognize any of these people in you?

Setback in Smoking Quits

Anne-Marie: Do you know why sometimes we have nervous symptoms after quitting smoking? Why didn't the nervous feelings start when I started the Quit? I asked my doctor, but his answer was vague. he referred to something underlying. I thought you may be able to shed some light on this illusive subject. I believe that it takes one year for the body to adjust to anything ie: surgery, quitting, divorce, moving, etc. I have noticed that with me. Do you think that is a reasonable objective? Do you think we ask too much of ourselves? I have a friend who had a facelift and she thought she was going to be "gorgeous" in 1 week ! Even I, with very little patience, knows better than that. As regards my lack of patience, I tell people that if I wanted patience, I would have been a doctor!! I know a pun is the lowest form of wit, and it is, indeed, but my sense of humor has brought me through the darkest days of my life. Red
