Hi guys,
How is everyone doing today? I just read all the posts from the weekend and it looks like some of us had a rough time this weekend...Mag I can sympathize with you and the races, my husband loves the races and I always send him off with my son or neighbor because of the fear of having anxiety in that very large crowd. I have never been before but watch it on TV. Believe me sweetie you did the right thing - there is nothing worse than not feeling "safe" or comfortable when going somewhere...especially a race track. People who don't suffer from what we suffer from can't really understand what we feel. My husband who knows that I suffer from anxiety/panic disorder has experienced it with me several times ie emergency room visits, ambulance rides, having to leave somewhere or just simply freaking out and saying call 911 and deep down inside he really doesn't have a clue of what I feel because he doesn't have one ounce of panic or anxiety - but he loves me unconditionally so he deals with it and trys very hard to understand, although there are times when I think he might get a little fed up with the fact that I won't fly in an airplane anymore and sometimes I think he and my son might be making fun of me (my anxiety) or maybe I should say try to make light of a situation.
I know it's very hard to explain it to someone without them thinking that your crazy or something, but this is us and we are not crazy so if they don't understand then they are the one's with the real problem.
Well I hope your increase kicks in fast and you start to feel better - keep us posted.
MYSTIC - How are you my angel? You are struggling yourself and yet you always worry about everyone else...you always have a wonderful way with words. I can tell that you are a awesome mother and your daughter is very lucky to have such a great mom as yourself. I hope you start feeling better really soon, I can always count on you to be here on the boards, your the best! I read your post to Lexy about the people who come and go and loosing contact with each other and not knowing how we are all doing and I just wanted to let you know that you have my word that I will not lose contact with you guys because I finally found people who are just like me and not to mention, you guys are all pretty great.
Mrs. C - What can I say...you are a God sent to me. YOU are so kind and caring and I love ya. Just knowing that I can write to you and always get a reassuring response is a gift in itself...Thanks!
Lexy - If it wasn't for you my angel I would have never found this board and all these great people. You remind me of someone who is always full of energy and looking to help anyone in anyway you can. Thanks for all your words of advice and for finally teaching me how to post on this board...love ya
Simus - You always reasearch and share it with us and I really appreciate that...I always look forward to reading your posts...they are always filled with so much good info and advice. I haven't had the chance to talk with you yet, but look forward to finding out more about you.
Anakin and Bride 2 be - The only thing I know about you two sweet girls is that you are both getting married...how exciting! More details please. I still trying to find out about everyone because I am still fairly new to this board. Talk to ya soon!
jlynne - The same goes for you...I read all of your good advice but never had a chance to chat with you yet.
Well I felt the need to address all of the yo-yo's individually and try to get to know the ones that I don't talk to on a regular basis, so this is the purpose of this post. I hope everyone had a great long weekend and I look forward to hearing from all of you.
I am sure I missed someone and if I did then I am sorry and just give me a shout.Just to let you all know that my new anxiety is not wanting to go anywhere where there is a very large crowd like a concert, because I am so afraid of a terrorist attack...It seems like I conquer one and gain another. I am so sick of worrying....
Love,
anxious babe
