Kitty is cute but not mine. I have two cats, a seventeen year old lynx point and a seven year old seal point.

Thank you Josie for having faith! That means a lot, I wish I had more faith in myself! The symptoms have subsided a little, I think it may be "fall-out" from last week when my son left town for a few days and tommorow they have a long drive to basketball, I worry when they travel, I just pray for thier safety. Sometimes it hits me a few days later, hopefully that is it.

Well  I DID go out tonight, I made Walgreens and the grocery store, two outta three aint bad I guess, I will attempt Walmart Monday evening hopefully, it may be less crowded. The problem is my husband does not like to go out shopping later at night and I do, I feel safer and better then, oh well he will have to learn to live with it! I hope to finish Monday, but I did do it Josie I did two stores! Thanks for the great encouragement.

Debora,
 
I have faith in you!  Do some relaxation techniques, get your breathing in line and be calm...check on line for shopping or check to see which stores are open later..chances are there will be less people..I heard a rumour that wal-mart was open 24 hours!
 
Make a list and get in and then out. Spend more time wrapping and writing the cards.
 
You can do this!

I did pretty good all week. My son went on a 2 day trip with his class out of town and stayed at a hotel, I was worried but I got through it good, prayed a alot and tried to think positive and distract, he is back safe and I am proud I did not freak out.

Today is another story. About an hour ago I started having left arm pain {how I hate that!} and a little chest pain and now I am sick too my stomach, and I know all those symptoms can mean a heart attack and how I am trying not too think that way its scaring me, it came out of nowhere, one minute I was fine and the next.....well you know....hope its just anxiety. I have to go shopping tonight {or my son will not have any gifts under the tree1} I dread going to busy crowded stores, so many people and I am afraid I will catch a cold or flu from all the people, isn't that terrible to feel like that? I am hoping these horrible bodily symptoms are just nerves about going out and NOT heart attack, the nausea is bad and I did not even eat anything but a small piece of chocolate which I hear is good for you once in awhile because it increases serotonin, I hardly ever eat chocolate, could that uspet my tummy? Its SO hard to know if this is nerves or something worse and I am trying to calm down so I can go shopping, I have been doing rather well and I hate a setback now especially before the holiday, maybe its holiday stress, perferable to a heart attack. Thanks for listening, wish me luck!
