I did it, I went to the doctors, spoke to her about my concerns, asked all my questions, my doctor was great!! She explained everthing. I am afraid of outcome and trusting her that things will be ok. Basically it is the trust issue, I have that with a lot of issues. But I came out of the appointment, took a big deep breath and did the self talk thing....and it worked. I was a little anxious this morning, falling back into the trap, but again, big breath and started my day. Doing ok now. I just have to learn to trust all over again, it's hard, but I guess this will take time. Thank you for your help...I do very much appreciate your support.
Hi there, I'm having a setback. I know why it's happening, but I can't seem to handle this one. Everytime something good is going to happen to me, I tend to go into these fits, my symptoms take a major roll and then something bad is going to happen. I'm trying to cope, but I can feel myself slipping. We're going to get a puppy for our family and it's soooo exciting, but I'm now feeling that if I do get this dog, I won't be around to enjoy it. I went through the same feeling when we went to Florida as a family. Same feeling and thoughts that this will be our last trip together because something bad will happen. I don't deserve these good things. I don't mean to sound aeorgant(?), but that's how I feel. I'm scared. I'm at the point where I don't want to get excited about this dog, because then the feelings of doom won't come, but I can't live like this. Please someone answer me.
Hi, when you say to "identify the source", I think I know where it is coming from, but I'm not sure how to deal with this. I know I must confront my fears, is this the same thing? I'm doing all kinds of "short term" solutions, but know this is not helping me in the long run. I guess I'm just rambling...give me today and I'll let you know
Hi Jo, I just read your note and was very interested. I have one pupil that is bigger than my other pupil. In fact, it is my left eye. I freaked out about 3 years ago about this. My right eye is fine, it's just my left eye. I went to my doctor and she thought it was irisitis, but referred me to an opthomologist and he determined it was called "Adies Tonic Pupil". It when the nerves in the affected pupil are not working the same as the nerves in the normal eye. They dilate at different times. Sometimes my pupil is really big and others it's small. I don't know if it's that, but I know how and what you're going through. Let me know.

You know what, you hit it right on the head Diva, my life is going well, we're getting this sweet little puppy that I've wanted for years now, now we're getting it, I should be soooo excited. I'm afraid to get excited because I'm waiting for the ball to drop, the bad thing to happen. I don't understand how to challenge my thoughts. I did speak to someone professional, and when I was going to her, I was going through a good period, now I'm not and I need her and our sessions are over...she spoke about being fortune tellers (thanks Lorlee) and we're not, but it's hard to turn it off. I'm sorry, I'm just venting. I know it has to come from me and not anyone else...,I know that, but it's hard. Sorry, just feeling sorry for myself. It seems that if I do feel awlful, then nothing bad will happen. Challenge, challenge, challenge my bad thoughts, start Day l...thanks for listening, I do really appreciate it.
You know, I meant to mention, the specialist says he doesn't know how it happens, it could happen to the other eye, but, it's ok, your sight doesn't change, a few headaches because of your brain figuring out your site, it does get better. Take care, I hope it helps.
You know I had to start over with the exercises, I felt what an idiot, I should have gotten this the first time. Now, I'm actually comprehending what is being said and doing the exercises thoroughly. I'm finding what my source of anxiety is, I think, and hopefully everything else (symptoms) will calm down. My stomach gets in knots, then one thing leads to another with that, then the symptoms and the automatic thoughts start up. Does that happen to you? But I'm afraid to carry on, what if I'm missing something so obvious...one day at a time.
It's funny, I told my husband last night about how I was feeling about this puppy, excited and everything but not to get too excited because the feeling of something bad will happen will come along. He just looked at me and smurked. He wasn't making fun of me but he made me understand how ridiculous that sounds. Thank goodness he has a sense of humour.
I'm sorry you are feeling this way, I know how lonely you can feel when going through an episode. Is there a close friend that you can trust that you can speak to and even here is great. I find it hard sometimes when you need to speak to someone and no one is around, you come here and all you need is someone to say it's ok...and it will be ok, one day at a time. Please take care.
I'm going through a hard time right now, this one, I can't seem to climb out of, could you add me to a prayer list, I just want to be happy and healthy again...
I know this is the right thing to do, but man, am I ever scared. I made an appointment with my doctor to check on something. I'm am so dreading what the results may be and I'm trying to do the homework, but I can't seem to get out of this slump. My appointment is for Wednesday, I'm really scared for the worse...
