new game plan...

ok,,,after seaching the net,and studying the out comes..this is the plan i have for now..
I now know my trigger to my anxiety,and its the sciatica pain i have,so,,i now know,that it wont kill me,iam not going to lose a leg,ect..
Last night,the pain started again..this time,i told myself,,i am tired,i have to sleep,need my rest,done some deep breathing,and fell back to sleep..today,i am telling myself.i am ok,its just sciatica,and alot of times this will go away in due time,with ibeprophine,muscle relaxants and sleep aids,ill get through this!
Yes,it is a painful thing,and i hate it!
But..i will get through it! and over come it!
Iam not ignoring it,but iam not going to let it rule me or my life!
Now..that i have come to realize this,it makes it easier to cope....
Does any of this make some kind of since?

I got out today!

I did sleep better last night,and this morning,seems my pain is not as bad,and so i wanted just to get out,do some errands and come back home..i did,went to the grocery store,got gas for the car,and came home..i didnt panic!!!!!!
I felt good about that too,as i thought at one point i was,,but i told myself,i have to do this first,then i will rest..
So far...so good!!!!

Iam starting to learn something..

I have been learning alot today,about my sciatica, and it seems its not a long term thing,most will go away in due time,and ibprophine,tylonol,back rubs,ice paks,will help with all this,now i have learned that,it takes away some of the fear of it,therfore, anxiety too...so in turn i feel better, not so worried and afraid!
