Where is the light in this tunnel?

hello lostgirl. you certainly sound like you are suffering right now. it is so easy to get caught up in "the bad things" that are happening in our lives that we tend to forget about the positive things in our lives. why did you feel like you made an idiot out of yourself at the party you went to? this past thursday i had a panic attack at work and then got a call from my daughter telling me she was in a car accident. she was okay but i was a total wreck. so her car was ruined. not the worst thing that could have happened but rather focus on the fact that my daughter was safe and unharmed, all i could think of was the negative stuff. Now three days later, i have had a chance to reexmine things and decided that things could have been a lot worse and i should be thankful that they weren't. I am trying not to focus on the financial asect of the accident or the incovneience with trying to deal with it. it is unforutnate that you and your family are fighting as i am able to find solace in the support i have from my family. is it possible that you make an attempt at fixing things with your family? there is a light at the end of the tunnel....for some it is dimmer than for others but don't give up...just keep looking for it. thinking of you. merry58

Im having a really awfull time lately. I went to a party last nite and feel like i spent the whole time making an idiot of myself even though i didnt have that much to drink. I often feel like that in groups even though people tell me im outgoing. We went to a lovely restaurant and would hardly touch my food as i was convinced i would get food poisoning and be sick, hospitalised and even die! , either that or someone is trying to poison me. Is this OCD? Its taking over my life these days , it goes away for a while then comes back. I know deep down its very irrational but i still wont let it go. Im also deeply depressed these last few days. My family and me are fighting and i lost my handbag yesterday, why is everything going so wrong? I was doing really well for a while, and even though im on tablets there not helping at all, even though they did before, when things were bad. Im throwing up all the time i cant stop i keep thinking being thin will help my problems go away. I also keep thinking everyone knows about my terrible obsessive compulsive behaviour. Does anyone else have weird obsessions like this i feel like a freak and i cant go on, i feel like im dying inside, where is the light at the end of the tunnel?
