My new goal! Whats yours?

Absolutely! If you can find the time, I would go for it. You have a natural way of calming and relaxing people by the way you communicate. I told you , you should write a book about your journey, you have a real wealth of knowledge and a caring heart. Good luck, let us know what you decide.

Wish me luck

Saw my dr. yesterday and sinceI have been feeling pretty good and not having to many issues with the anxiety ( what I do have, I seem able to cope.), he decided that I should stop the clonazepam. I was only taking .5mg at night for approx. 2 weeks. He did tell me that it would be a bit difficult, that the anxiety would surface again but that it should pass in about 1 week and wouldn't be as bad as the last time. So last night I did not take it....I do have anxiety today but I am trying to notice and accept it and just go on with my life.

I have got to succeed in this and I may be leaning on my friends quite a bit.

To top it off my darn hip was bothering something fierce last night so my sleep was inturrupted. Oh! well, such is life.

Thanks for listening

Thanks Samantha for the shoulder. Last night is was the hip bothering me...a bit of anxiety too but usually I get ansy when I know sleep will be difficult . I am working on it though, it is just the first day.

Thank-you Davit for the shoulder too, it is deeply appreciated especially when you have pain of your own to deal with.

I'll talk it to my dr. about the valium (if the need arises) but I truly want to this on my own. I have started taking Omega3 along with my calcium and glucosamine. I will try and find the ginger mint tea as well. Thanks again!

Thanks Lucid Dream,

The support is very welcome and it helps to chat with friends who have been there. I'm doing my best.

Like they said at our session , don't use the term "try" cause it doesn't show committement ... so as Yoda says

" there is no try, do or do not" LOL

Big Hugs to all of you for the kind words and shoulders.

Go figure a little 800 years old green guy would be so wise!!!

I managed to get sleep last night despite the anxiety and panic . Today the anxiety is more than yesterday but I am doing breathing exercises and listening to my relaxation tape. I must admit that even the relaxation tape is having a hard time to quell the anxiety.

It's one hell of a way to spend Mother's Day but that is what has been handed to me , so I will deal with it as best I can.

I have to admit I almost got up to take a .5 tablet but didn't...I knew the clonazepam was a temporary reprieve so that I could get some strength back...I guess I was just hoping the anxiety would be less.

At least there will be some distractions today, my husband and son are taking me out for brunch and later we are going to the home where my mother-in-law lives to have ice cream cake and coffee ( not me ...tea) . She will be 96 this month and it will be easier to visit with her there. Can't really bring her for brunch... she has no teeth!

Any ways hope all you ladies are having a nice Mothers Day and a sunny day to the rest. Talk to you later.

I am tackling it the best way I can. I don't have issues about going out or anything like that, I don't care if I embarasse myself or not....I just want these intense physical sensations to ease a bit and give me a break, that's all.

I'll get there someday , I know.

Yes, thanks Ashley! It was so nice of you to remember all moms, your mom is a lucky lady to have such a caring daughter.

Thanks again, guys,

Sunny,

Yes , they sure do! Yesterday was a bad one I'm afraid...even with all the things we did...I ended up a basket case.

I did take a .5mg last night just so I could relax and sleep. I'm a bit disappointed in a sense that I did but on the other hand I think maybe I should have tapered off over time...like one every other day or something. Stopping cold like that didn't do me any good. I have to stop thinking that I am disappointing people , I only end up hurting myself.

After the cake at grandma's my son and I went to get him some new boots for his summer job...so going out and about had never been an issue with me, well not so far anyway!

Today I'm still edgy but can cope so far.

Davit,

Well I'm glad I didn't seem too snarky! I have been doing my work, writing things down, relaxation cd's, breathing etc. but yesterday nothing seemed to calm me down.

You said awhile back that I was going too fast, maybe this is the case....I'm just so darned confused now ,I don't know which way to turn and I wonder if alot of it has to do with my sore hip, it does get a person down after awhile.

I did send a letter to my surgeon , letting him know what had transpired and getting his input as to when the surgery should be done. At least that is a step in the right direction.

I've tried the 10 questions and either I'm not doing it right or something ,I always seem to get hung up on them.

Ex: When it asks is it true? What that I feel like I can't stand myself in my own skin? Yes, it's true.

and so on. I wish you guys were here to help me through that part cause I just don't get it.

Funny, when I was just taking 0.5 mg , I felt like I was doing some progress ...every day I went through my stuff did the exercises and so on, I was very proud of myself. Now it seems like it was just an illusion after all...it wasn't me getting better it was the meds doing their job.

My Dr. did tell me to let him know how things had gone and that trying it over the weekend was a good time. To call him at any time . So I will .

I am sorry about the rant...I'm either hot or cold ...sheeeeesh I hate that.
