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

Lexy, thanks for that analogy. It really makes sense when put that way. I have been struggling from time to time but in between those struggles I have found true happiness. I guess the troubled times really help you to appreciate the good ones. How are you doing these days? Sounds like everything is going well. I am happy for you. Good to hear from you. Mrs. C

Well my friends it seems I spoke too soon this afternoon in one of my posts when I said my husband was understanding...because tonight he is aggravating the heck out of me to fly out to Vegas for a couple of days and surprise our friends.
At first I thought I could do it and actually started looking online for flights and hotels until it struck me ((FLIGHTS)) I can't get on a plane especially not now with all those crazy terriorist - I am scared to death just looking at the flights.
So you could imagine what I am hearing tonight -
"oh you'll be fine" easy for him to say, he doesn't have any anxiety - he doesn't think about any of those crazy thoughts that I do.Well I told him to go by himself and meet our friends if he wants to, and he said NO he wants to go with his wife and have fun...so now I feel like a total let down because even though I know it would mean so much to him I just can't do it. It's a 5 hour flight for me and that is way too long for me especially now with these obsessive thoughts of something going wrong.
And the worst part is that he is not even mad but just looks disappointed :(
I am just venting because I know you guys understand....love you all.
Blessings,
anxious babe

You got that right! Day by day is tough, but it beats all bad days like before.
God bless.

Hey Mystic,
I was wondering how you were doing today too. I had a lot of anxiety, and OCD, memory issues, and fogginess yesterday. It was the first time in a LONG time that I had to fight anxiety again. It could be from a virus I have been fighting off. Who know? It was not as bad today, but I could be better. Thank you for your prayers. You are in mine too.
