I also want to congratulate you on your accomplishments....it has been inspiring to read this thread. I especially enjoyed your last post about how your friend told you that if you never put yourself out there, you are always going to be in the same place.
How was everyone's panic this long weekend?
I experienced some panic when I took the train to visit family. There was a lot of sounds on the train (people talking loudly, babies crying) I started to feel trapped on this train with nowhere to go and I still had 3 hours left. I started to panic and sweat and my breathing changed. I put my ipod on with some relaxing music and I used some positive self-talk to bring myself back to reasonable thinking...either way I felt proud that I was able to get myself under control and survive the remainder of the ride.
I am around, I guess I have been guilty of browsing the site and not posting. But I sure have been reading. I loved reading about your reward, going to the play. Laughing is really important, I'm glad that you found the play funny.
Davit,
I am sorry to hear that you are going through a tough time, the site is just not the same without hearing from you. Check in when you can. I really could use your input right now actually....and if you have the energy please do share your insight.
I am having some difficulties reconciling some issues with a family member. Just the thought of making the phone call sends me int a full fledged panic attack. The problem is, I need to reconcile a few of our issues. Because we have a wedding to attend this summer. I feel like if i dont reconcile the issue sooner than later, I will have even more panic on the day of the wedding....and that is just not cool. Anyway, I could use your input or anyone elses for that matter...
What a hard question. I mean, I don't know if I have ever achieved the best possible me. What I strive for is to be forgiving, accepting, in control of my panic and intelligent. I always value having intelligent conversations with friends and family. As of late I have been feeling like I have little to say about anything.
Anyway, I am going to continue thinking about the best possible me. Because I am not quite sure yet what that is.
Red, This photo is beautiful! I think I may start to look for a new picture. Yours is just completely beautiful. That orange is gorgeous. Did you take this picture?
My positive accomplishment will be searching and finding a new avatar---something beautiful.
I found a new pic and added it just for you! I have to admit that this is not a photo that I took myself. However, one day I do wish to have a nice camera and learn photography.
Thank you sunny, cleo and red for the compliments on my picture, I think it's quite beautiful too!
Sunny---- Thank you very much for the suggestions regarding my family member issue. I think I will use some of the tips you gave me and try to get this done in the next few days. I keep putting it off, but I think I will feel much better once I get it out of the way. I'll definitely jot down a few ideas and have it ready for the call.
Red---- I will definitely have to get my hands on a camera! One day. And I am SUPERRRRR impressed that your partner took this pic! It is UNREAL! Bravo!
What a great little kit you have going there! I really liked reading this post, I think it's important to have a handle on your needs and what basic items will help you.
I love crossword puzzles, for a while I stopped doing them. But I've gotten back into it and it's been great. In my kit, I would also include a sleep mask, no matter where i am I can have darkness to sleep.
Great work on facing your BP results! That must have been pretty tough, how brave of you! You must feel very proud of yourself! It is great that you went to the mall and enjoyed shopping around without a cart. You are making some great strides, thanks for sharing with us! How has your panic and anxiety been other than that?
