Ok, panic versus anxiety

Yes sometimes i feel sad and such. Negative thoughts can do that to you. I think we all have those kinds of weepy days where we just feel sad and afflicted and like crying. That is normal. But if you find yourself feeling really sad for more then 50% of the time for a month or 100% of the time for two weeks and if you start lacking interest for everything even the stuff you love most then i suggest you just get information on depression, talk to your therapist or to your doctor and they will be able to tell you if you are just sad or if you are starting a depression. HEck even if you have none of the symptoms above you can talk to your doctor or shrink and get info if it will make you feel better. I know that i have had depressions in the past. So on days where i feel really sad , or just sad i get real freaked out and afraid i will get depressed again. But as Isabella told me. We all have those days and it is normal. I have noticed that those days usually pass and then i feel better. Anyway i kinda rambled a lot here and i hope this answered your post at least a little bit lol Take care :) -Diva

Anyway, nice to meet you and to make your acquaintance in the forums^^

Exams soon please help!

Ok i did my studying and i am ready for bed but i must admit i am a bit on edge about this exam.I am visualizing myself succeeding at taking the exam calmly and doing good breathing. Also i am telling myself that i usually do good on exams and i have sutdied well so the odds of me doing well tomorrow are really good. Anyway, i have managed to stay relatively calm today but i am still scared and worried. I will go lie down now i know if i sleep well i will feel more in control tomorrow. Anyway, just needed to vent! Will keep you posted! -Diva

NEED REASSURANCE AND ADVICE

Hiya maggie i am sorry that this post will have to be short. I have an exam tomorrow and i am edgy and nervous and scared and i need my sleep to cope with the stress tomorrow . But i did want to show you some support. I have taken my meds to sleep so i dont know how long i will be able to stay on and write to you. I was about to go bedy-bye. Anyway, i know exactly how you feel me and my husband went through this years ago. It was really really bad. He couldnt take it anymore and neither could i but i felt like i needed him so bad and couldnt live without him and it mad him more fed up. My symptoms were so bad then i dont even want to list them all. Too depressing. Anyway, i cannot tell you if your relationship is worth saving or not. I am no marriage councilor. I think the importnat thing is to know if there is still love there. If so it can be saved. But as i said the marriage councelor thing i am not so good at as some of my posts have shown. But i do want to tell you it was bad and i mean BAD, awful with me and my husband at a certain time. And now we are still together and have been living together for a bit over 10 years now. IT is up to you to decide if you want to fight for it and mostly if it is worth it to you. As for you needing him, in a way that is an illusion. The best, number one person able to take care of you, is you. This is a lesson i learned the hard way! The very hard way! But now that i have realized that i am making progress in my life. I am working towards being responsible for myself and being self sufficient. Of course those goals are spread over years lol but everyday i try to make headway. The more i feel like i can take care of myself on my own the better and safer i feel. It was just hard for me to admit to myself that i was the key to getting better. And when people told me that i hated them for it! i mean really hated them! It doesnt mean you dont need support and to be surrounded with people who love you, it just means that you dont need to be saved becomes you can save yourself. Anway, i think i am rambling i am sleepy cause of the meds. Just remember i beleive in you. I beleive you have it in you to get better. I beleive you have it in you to work the prgram and beat your fears. Like a knight slaying the dragon. I belei

Started weekend strong, now not so much.

Wow congratulations Samantha i am really proud of you ! Woohoo you go girl!!!! Great success!!! -Diva
