CD, sounds like you had a great day! Even though you slept in, it sounds like you recovered with flying colours and managed to have a lovely day!
Congrats CD

Hello cornish-dee!
Sorry to hear you are having trouble sleeping. I hope that it passes for you soon!  As for oversleeping...
 
Well we all oversleep sometimes! Way to recover from it! Congratulations! It is hard to recover from such mornings and it sounds like you did great. And way to eat at the restaurant!
 
Hope the remainder of your day goes well.

I loved my work DB but i didnt like leaving my children . I stayed away two night aweek and it was really beginning to affect them . Plus i spent the rest of the week catching up with everything i missed when i away . It meant i was missing out on there time because i worked weekends . I still feel guilty so hope that passes soon , i done as much i can as far as im concerned .
 
Thanks for the hug Minnie espically with what you are going through now .  back at ya .
 
 
OK anyone want to know what happened today ? Tough im saying lol .

HI CD, Good time to start something new and fresh.  Also the medication thing can mess one up till you find the right dose, or the right medication, so hang in there. I"m thinking of you.

CD that was a big move, and you can turn it in to a big positive.
 
It's time to start afresh.  From now on, you can have a clean sheet and not let panic rule you. 

If you were unhappy at work, it wouldn't have worked out and you took steps to rectify it - so well done you.  It was a bold and brave thing to do.  You can take your time to readjust and sort out the financial bits as you get along, but don't let that play on your mind.  Focus on the positive.

I know about the tightness in the throat, too.  It's horrible.  But it's just another symptom.  Just keep telling yourself that.  It's a sensation that will not hurt you.
I'm starting to feel like I've been through them all.  My current one is feeling sick when I eat. 

But that's all it is - sensations of panic, but it will go away in time.

Take care.

CD...
 
Well sounds like a bit of a rough spell for you.  I know you just started your medication and I wanted to tell you when I started mine my panic went out of control for a bit... until I found the right dose.  Not an easy task at all.. YIKES!  If you can just get through the adjustment period I believe it will get better.
 
You're a trooper CD...and you will get through this. 
 
Quitting your job must have been tough but that was a stressor you definately needed to let go.  Now you can relax and stop worrying about your Mum having to cover you.. they can hire someone and she too can take a step back.  That took courage...  Good on you.
 
As for the throat...it is awful.. I only had it a bit that day and that was enough for me.... your kind and supportive words though made me realize that it is just another annoying symptom of anxiety...and the more I fight it the worse it gets... Once I no longer fear something it tends to disappear... It's learning to surrender to the fear that is hard... 
 
Big Hugs CD....
 
Oh..and crying is sooooo good for you.  I think it's a release that is needed more often... I always feel as though a weight has been lifted once I'm done.
 
As for not eating.. what about drinking smoothies... or meal replacement beverages during the interim.  They provide all the nutrients you need so at least you're getting what you need to maintain your hormonal levels and vitamins and minerals etc. 
 
Just a thought..
 
Keep us posted

Hiya Cd,
 
First off I want to say I am proud of you for all you accomplish even if you are having a bad day today! You deserve it nonetheless!
 
Second, I am sorry to hear you are having a bad day. It is tough making decisions like quitting a job and such. Big decisions mean big anxiety for me in general. I think you have had a lot on your plate lately and it is normal that you feel more stressed. As for the eating thing I can understand how when your throat feel bad you don't feel like eating. Do try to take good care of yourself though hun .
 
Anyway, Please let us know how you are doing.
 
Remember, this too shall pass!
