Weekend Prep

Boxing Day!!

Happy Boxing Day! With Christmas behind us, now is a great time to start focusing on the New Year. Instead of spending all of your time in the mall shopping, why not take some time out to enjoy with your family and friends and create a plan to make the coming year a success.

Rough Time

Hi Lisa,

I'm sorry that you are having a hard time being away from your ex's children. It must be difficult to be apart from them after taking care of them for so long. You've made some decisions to better yourself that caused you to be away from these children and you must really miss them. Remember that the kids miss you too and are happy when they run into you. Cherish the moments you've had together. Work through the sessions, post here often, phone a friend and do what you need to get through this rough time.

shortness of breath

Hi Davit,

Thanks for inquiring about anxiety during colds and flus and during fatigue. Regarding specific nutrition, certain foods will effect people differently. If you suspect that certain foods are affecting your anxiety, I would suggest seeking consult from your doctor.

Members, what have your experiences been with pneumonia, colds and anxiety?

shortness of breath

Hey Davit,

I'm sorry that I confused the information you are seeking. There often can be correlations between certain conditions and anxiety. Can you explain again what you were looking for? I am definitely interested in why you are seeking this information and I apologize if I didn't appear to be! We are always here to support and provide with the feedback we can.

How are you preparing to meet those challenges?

Ativan withdrawal and being free of it

Hi ljg4ljg4,

Regarding the side effects of your medication and deciding to come off of it, it is best to consult with your doctor or pharmacist. As Davit said, if you do a search through the old posts you will likely find discussions on medications and other members experiences. Check those out and check in soon.
