Lyn and Pressing, Thank you both for your support and kind words, it means a lot and it sure helps to keep on fighting.  Especially when you hear of how others were able to overcome some of the same fears.  Thanks again. Luvs, Wen

Awe Meg, I am sorry your having such a hard day. I kind of felt like that yesterday.

I wish I could just come and hang out with you for a bit and cheer you up:)

Another story...

Lets see...here is a crazy one....
one day I was so freaked out, someone was coming to pick us up for a bible study...I had not been in awhile because well as I shared before I did not want to leave the house. I am 14 at the time...

We'll I freaked, so I went and hid under one of the old cars in our yard......shaking hysterically....because I was so scared to go.....as I shared before my parents thought I was just being rediculous...

So when the lady comes one of my sisters tells my dad I am not there.....they ended up leaving to the bible study and my dad was trying to find me....well he did.....dragged me out from under the car.....and drove me to the Bible study.....you have no idea how freaked out I was at this point in time. I was so weak and shaky...I just wanted to die.

He brings me right in to the Bible study where everyone is and leaves me there....now I am there and there is nothing I can do....I don't want them to think I am crazy so I play it off that I am fine, while inside I am flipped out......God I was so scared....
So as time goes on I begin to relax some...I keep trying to talk my mind out of the fear......its starts to work....I start to feel better...not totally me but it wasn't as intense ....all in all....I ended up having a good night.......I did end up going again too.
Its just amazing how freaking real it is....yet how strong we can be....how strong the mind is.....its just learning how to control it....

Your cyber friend

Megs my sweet megs sorry I wasnt here almost all day yesterday had doc appointments confirmed fibro and a couple of other things as well.
Cait blames herself for my being sick and had a panic attack in Doc's office .I am kinda relieved in a way it was in front of him so he could see the severity of it all ya know ..She has a PDOC appointment coming up asap and he hopes it will be right soon is worried so am I ..........
It kills my heart to see she is so beautiful smart and yet is hurting so much from all the deaths she has witnessed and the sicknesses of mine ...........at her tender years .............I was crying most of the night in my room all alone and no tv no noise just silent tears...........It helps at times

Am trying to find a way to get to her but I dont know how when I too am in this darn thing as we know it ya know

I am glad all are sharing their stories with one another it really does do the mind and soul good IMHO
I did finally not take a Valium yesterday which is good for me .
Luvs to all ........LYN....Sis........S.I.S.

PRESSING
You are definitely an asset to this forum..thanks my friend...you are great...LYN

The past few days, I have been doin well. I feel pretty good and I try and do as much as I can. Like playing with my daughter outside , things like this. Well when I do feel the panic starting to slip up on me, I try and  float through it and just keep thinking positive. Throughout the days when the anxiety is trying to make me think negative about everything, right away I try my hardest to turn it into something positive. It has been a few days since I have had a panic attack and I hope that I am going somewhere with this. Oh yeah I started a blog on panic, so incase someone like me stumbles opon it, it may make them feel better to read what I go through and to know what they are going through is a lot like others. And I find that when I am writing, I am letting all this out of me and it makes me feel better too. This is the address to my blog if you would like to check it out. I hope I am not breaking rules. If so please tell me and I will take it off.

http://anxietywithpanicattacks.blogspot.com/ This is it. I just started on it. I even talk about the healing well on there and have a link where people can come to the healing well and see what it is about.

I look at my Cait and this Email says so much to me ......and to all the mom's out there......

I know it is something we may tend to forget that we have accomplished and are still working at .......bring up our Children right and being a MOM or a Dad ....with many dads
I HAD too SHARE this email

Before I was a Mom,
I never tripped over toys
or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn't worry whether or not
my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.

Before I was a Mom,
I had never been puked on.
Pooped on.
Chewed on.
Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind
and my thoughts.
I slept all night.

Before I was a Mom,
I never held down a screaming child
so doctors could do tests.
Or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night
watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mom,
I never held a sleeping baby just because
I didn't want to put her down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces
when I couldn't stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small
could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.

Before I was a Mom,
I didn't know the feeling of
having my heart outside my body.
I didn't know how special it could feel
to feed a hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond
between a mother and her child.
I didn't know that something so small
could make me feel so important and happy.

Before I was a Mom,
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night
every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth,
the joy,
the love,
the heartache,
the wonderment
or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much,
before I was a Mom.



** It is not easy being a parent and it certainly does not come with a handbook but read again just what we have made it thru and are going thru.......

WE are winners IMHO
