Hi Davit and Cleo,

Thank you so much for your responses. Mac is the same as PC for opening a new file and shrinking it. I'm not sure what the correct pixel size is, so maybe that's the problem. I've been working with technical support and they are trouble shooting as well. My daughter comes home from her college summer internship in two weeks, so maybe with her insight as well, we'll be able to get the avatar. It's nice to meet both of you. The Panic Center is a blessing for me and I appreciate all of the support. No worries; the worst case scenerio is my avatar has a red x and says "personal image" in red ink. I bet no one else has that one.

Have a great day!

Hi Shari,

I had the same problem.....but I have an 18 year old son who did it for me....I have to admit I'm not that great at computer stuff.

Davit...Good to hear you are happy....even with all those mosquito bites !

It is doable! Happiness that is!

I was cutting thistles in my strawberry patch till dark. I think I should consider weeding a hobby separate from gardening.

And my third hobby should be feeding mosquitoes. The things a person does for a fresh strawberry. In case you haven't noticed I am rather happy lately. I went through some pretty heavy exposure a couple of weeks ago and it has put a whole new spin on life. I still have arthritis, life is still tough but with out the panic it is a whole lot easier. I don't know why I'm so happy but I am and I wish all of you this peace of mind. Never mind how long it took to get here, the point is that it is doable.

Peace everyone.

Davit.

I'm Mac so I don't know how PC works but I would think you could open your shrunken picture in a new file and shrink it again, Mac lets you make it any number of pixels so I aim for a picture just below the acceptable. Some PC people should be able to help you. Patience, some one will come along. We are a group and we do help each other here.

Welcome to the site.

Thank you Samantha and everyone for your support. I've been using all of the tools available and they are great! Reading other people's stories is extremely helpful. I feel connected with other people in similar situations. I'm having technical trouble with posting my Avatar photo. No matter how tiny I shrink the photo; it comes back as "too large" Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi Shari,

Thank you for sharing your story and support with us. There are many people within this support group that share the same questions and concerns as you. We are all a group of individuals who support each other.

If you look to the left of the screen under "TOOLS" you will find many supportive tests. These tests are not diagnostic tools and are not a replacement or substitute for a physician's advice. The purpose of these tests is to prepare you with information that you can present to your physician. When you're finished the test, you can either print your Final Report or email it directly to your doctor.

We also have developed a Panic Program. This program is 12-weeks and involves the tools mentioned above. Each session is based on the previous session, so we strongly advise that you work slowly through the program and not jump ahead.

These tests may or may not be for you but they are "free". If you have any question or concerns with our “TOOLS”, you can contact us at support@paniccenter.net. We are the Support Specialist for The Panic Center and are open to any questions or concerns you may have.

Please continue to strive forward and lean on us for support.

Hi,

I'm new. I taught myself to knit and crochet. It opened up a whole new world of endless patterns. I like to make toys and donate them to a children's charity toward the end of the year, around the holidays. I have finally learned to knit, in the round, with four double pointed needles and now I can make even more kinds of toys.

I revisited an old passion I had which is drawing. I listen to music and paint. I have 2 Chihuahuas and a one-eyed cat that I rescued. It is really theraputic knowing you helped them and they give you unconditional love. They don't care if you have a panic attack and it's relaxing to give them a hug and tell them what you're stressed out about. They don't judge you and they don't tell anyone.

Before you run out and get a pet, make sure it won't add additional stress to you. I had to know my limits and I had taken in too many rescues at one time and had to find really good homes for them. I hope this helps in giving ideas about new things to try. Shari

Beautiful sunset tonight so there must be some clouds down the valley. I managed to spend a good part of the day in my garden. It has been hot and I have been watering. That is a good combination for weeds. I hope I can keep this up. I'm feeling good both mentally and physically. The greenhouse is doing very well and it is almost weed free. I do have a black poplar coming up in there though. The roots snuck under the wall. I'll have to till a strip all the way around to keep it out. I have a plastic cable reel that I sit on and for the most part I use a stirrup hoe that cuts the roots off under ground without moving much dirt. Fantastic tool. This is my hobby now since I can't afford to go fishing anymore. And I can't climb mountains either. I have had better gardens but mostly I ended up giving it away. Downscaling to what I can use myself with a bit left over for anyone who wants to just come and pick a bit. I have a very small lawn overhung with apple trees and I have wooden cape cod lawn chairs on it. It is a very pleasant place to sit and watch birds. I don't think my neighbour across the road is home so it is very quiet. My closest neighbour now is two KM away. No motorcycles or loud trucks, no four wheelers. Paradise for some one who doesn't mind being alone.

Davit.
