Sounds like a plan to me. We can do this. We can support and encourage it other to stick to the plan. You may not want to stop your antibiotics to soon especially if you plan on having dental work done in the near future. I know what you mean about having to take meds sometimes so that you can get some rest and sleep. I spent a few years getting 3 to 4 hrs a sleep a night and it really takes a toll on you. Thats what I have the xanax for to help me sleep after I haven't been getting enough sleep for a week of so. Take your meds if you need to I would. Well I got to got to bed soon its about 10pm here and I am trying to stick to the routine the plan that is. I will look forward to reading your plan when and if you decide to post it. Get a good nights sleep Davit. I'll try to check into the site tomorrow after my walk and breakfast.
Its sounds like you have the makings of a excellent routine and a real plan. I think I would put the greenhouse at the top of my list or at least make sure your don't let yourself get to tired cleaning the house, maybe just do a little housework everyday. Getting outside in the garden to work or relax every day sounds like a wonderful idea, kind of a reward. I know you love being outside in the garden and greenhouse. As you know I also enjoy being outside in the garden. Maybe you can post later tonight or tomorrow and let us know how it went with your new routine today. My day went pretty good. I was able to stick to my routine with a few modifications. I had to have cup of coffee before I could get started so that is now number one on list for a daily routine. I was able to go for my walk. I did some work around the house a project of sorts.I got a new book shelf for dvds last night and my partner put it together this morning. Now I have my other book case for my books so I got my books all together today and organized them on the book shelfs, maybe I can actually read them now. I also organized the dvds today. I had no anxiety today. I am a little tired tonight and am running late with dinner, so I've got to sign off for now. The chicken noodle soup is waiting. Talk to you later.
I want welcome you to the group. I have been agoraphobic for many years now. I started the program here on
Jan 7 of this year and I have seen great improvements in my anxiety and agoraphobia and I am hardly ever depressed anymore. This program really works and the educators are very helpful and caring and the support group is full of wonderful and supportive people going through some of the same things you are. You really can get better.
Your Dr. did the right thing sending you to the program and I am glad your have joined us here at the support group.
I joined on Jan 7 of this year and am seeing great improvements in myself. This is a great program with very helpful and caring educators and a wonderful support group of caring people that really understand what you are going through. Post as often as you like it really helps.
I am happy to hear you had a better day. I didn't get all of my routine done yesterday either. Their is always today tomorrow and the next day to finish working on it. We have started on it and we are moving forward and making progress, thats whats really important. I find that with the arthritis that I can not do everything in a day and that I have to break it up into several days and that I have to make changes to my routine as I deem necessary. You did great yesterday and so did I. I am very proud of both of us.
Today is the second day of having a routine and I need to keep working on it and make it a habit . It is kind of a work in progress. I am kind of a work in progress I guess. I am sure I will need to make some changes along the way. I do need to be flexible. It all about trial and error. I am still in the learning process finding out what works for me and of course I need to keep challenging my anxious and negative thoughts and not let them control me or stop me from progressing forward. Well enough about me how is everybody else doing today?
The first thing I do is try to use the 10 question list in my tool box which I have printed out. It is a must for me when dealing with my panic. I use it to challenge my anxious and negative thoughts that run through my head. Another thing I do is read back over the material in the program. Re reading the chapters really helps me and I always learn something new that I didn't quite understand before. I find that as I progress and improve the program the different chapters take on a new meaning for me. Reading posts and posting also helps me to get another persons perspective on how they are dealing with their anxiety/panic/ptsd/agoraphobia. It helps me to have a exchange of ideas on how to deal with it. I would like to encourage everyone to work the program to the best of their ability and to never give up. You can beat this thing.
I am not getting as much accomplished today. I started out pretty good this morning but did not feel to enthusiastic about the day. I didn't want to push myself to hard today and be to tired for my exposure day tomorrow which is jury duty day. I have been trying to put it out of my mind all day but it keeps creeping up into my thoughts. I can feel the anxiety building ever so slightly now in the center of my chest. Maybe I will try to read or something I don't know but I need to find a way to not let it get all blown out of proportion. I was feeling good yesterday and today I don't know what to think. Keep a stiff upper lip is what I keep telling myself and calm down. I guess this is not one of my good days and I am going to forget about a routine for today and try to rest up for tomarrow.
