I'm impressed with the new site, and it's kinda cool seeing the health pro's that helped me out so much before! To be honest, I imagined you all as old ladies, not the vibrant young bunch you are...lol, you spoke with such maturity! (And if you aren't young...you need to share some of those anti-aging secrets!)
It's been many moons, I wanted to drop back in and say my life is straighter then an arrow now. Took meds for about 5-6 months and they helped tremendously, but I've been off them for about...4 months now? And everything in my life is perfectly sane. It's kinda crazy actually, 6 years of anxiety that just got gradually worse...then bam! Found my niche and now I'm on the road to success. Went through my "unfair" share of ups and downs, ins and outs, turnarounds and roundabouts...but my conviction now is astounding...and it's all me baby! Going back to school to become a wildland firefighter and a radiological tech. I know....odd mix, but the two could work out if you planned it right....which I have....and it still leaves plenty of room for my family :-)
Though I gotta let everyone still suffering know, the anxiety is FAR from gone for me. I still have many harsh days, sometimes daily attacks for a week straight, but the way I handle it now makes it so I can move on shortly after the attack. Yup, it's possible! Nope, this doesn't have to be forever. Check out the program here, and try to consider the advice given (that's the first hurdle)...who knows? You may just find the way! Hope is the one thing you can't use too much! It's the expectations that getcha...or it mighta just been me, but hey, maybe there's another me out there...
Anyways, just wanted to drop back in and say thanks to everyone aboard this ship for your help and guidance. You were a BIG part of my healing process! I'll try to drop by from time to time and add my stories here and there, you ladies need to let me know how you're doing as well though! And if the old bunch is still around....Gene, Diva, Caden, Miki/Lore, Minnesota, Faith, Dark Blue, and everyone else...write a reply and catch up with me! You guys were a big part of my recovery as well!
Cheers!
