> PS ...I will not post and waste anyones time again until i feel better and have something to contribute to the group..
You can slack off in posting because you aren't feeling well if you want, but don't think you are wasting our time or have nothing to contribute. That's just not true. Besides, who is going to sing lead if you go away??? My la, la, shoo-wops are going to look awfully silly out there alone...

Mystic,
If you EVER think your posts don't matter...
You sent me a message about two weeks ago. I printed it and keep it by my bed. It is now wrinkled and tear-stained, because every time those thought come that try to convince me that I am not worth anything, that I don't matter, I pull out that piece of paper and hug it. It has brought tremendous encouragement.
You keep fighting the good fight of faith, my friend.

Mystic! no, you cant go! you are what motivates me to keep on contiributing, and it reminds me how helpful it is, i am feelinig a little better i know this week will be rough because of the increase im just as med phobic as you are, but i look forward to 2 weeks when maybe i will feel a little more like myself...
i talked to the bf a little last nite but not to the extent that i wanted to.. its going to have to be gradual..he did make me feel better by saying "dont worry i wont let anything bad happen to you" that was sweet, if only he had the power to make it go away! lol...its just wishful thinking but still made me smile.i just got home from his house and going to bed for 2 hours then i have to go to work, i slept at his house last nite cause i didnt want to be alone. it helped.
i love all you guys and your endless giving, it means the world to me.
one day at a time mystic, you will feel better we are increasing together.
((big hug))
Mag

Simus..that post made me weepy also...You are the greatest...I'm glad that I could help you and that something I said really hit home...You cant understand what a special person you are and the true contibution that you make I get teary after reading probably 90% of your posts...You make sure that you cover all of the things that people are worried about and explain it to them so well and you research things so that we can all be knowledgeable about them good or bad...I know that we have similar childhoods and it is so great that we have come out of it and become better people because of it ...but the sharing the you do on the posts is absolutely incredible..it is hard to find words to say thank you to someone that changes your life and reaches out and helps so many knowing that these were not skills we learned as children...I luvya Simus and thank you for being you...Mystic

Mystic,
Good to hear from you. I had a rough day yesterday - a little setback - and I have no idea why. I have been fighting a virus and that is all I can think of. Sure brought back old memories...
God bless.

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

Hey Anxious Babe,
Hey girl, have not heard from you one on one for a while but I am really glad to know you are doing well. Your email about panic attacks was great. I am lucky, my boyfriend gets them, and I get them, ours are mild compared to some of the horror stories I have heard. I am lucky in the fact that when I start having them, I am able to realize and talk myself out of it. I guess my Masters in counseling is worth something after all ...hahahaha.
I want to fill you in on something we all have talked about in the past. Our problems, be it anxiety or depression, are like an onion. You don't just start taking medication and get better, this is my 5th month on lexapro and I just now feel that I am getting back to someone I recgonize as myself. On my way back from hell, I went though so many stages. Its just like peeling back an the layers (you may cry too, just like with an onion). Anyway, when I get frusterated with my progress, I just rememer, I am chipping away at those layers and getting closer to the core!
Good luck, love ya!
Lexy

Just wanted to drop a few lines and say hello to everyone. I am really bad about posting. Sorry. I want you to know that I pray for all of you everyday. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I have seen alot of progress with most of you. I am so glad. I am also praying for the ones that are still having problems. Just keep the faith and God will take care of you.
I am feeling pretty good today. I go day by day and thank God for the good ones. I have come along way. I want to thank all of you who have helped me. You have no idea how much that was. Good luck to all of you on your journey. May God bless all of you. Take care, Ali
