This is a prime example of what I meant by being assertive and using anger to stop the anxiety in its tracks. It isn't much anger but if you give in then you turn the anger on yourself. Far better to say I'm going to do this even if you fail, and you probably won't.
Congratulations Red. Did you notice how the anger fades with the accomplishment where as it would stick around if you didn't try.
Congratulations Red... what an accomplishment! It helps me to see how you handled this. The anxiety still shows up, but you tell it to go away and it does. wow!
Yesterday I was able to go pick up some new glasses I was having make..The anxiety and panic reared its ugly head and tried to keep me from doing this and I thought to myself I am going to go get my glasses today and I am not going to let this anxiety and panic control me or keep me from going..."Thats it thats enough. Stop it now.".It stopped I got dressed and left to get my glasses..And you know what the glass came out fine and I spent the evening enjoying them.....
The vertigo is getting better slowly but surely..I have been shut in a little more than is healthy and have slipped back into my old habits some what..Right now I am trying to find my happy medium between the old life and the new one..My new normal that is..
I'm so happy for you all! Congrats! Another baby to love. I'm glad to hear everything went well. I bet you need some rest now after running around after a toddler! hard work!
Hello everyone: I'm a grandmother again! A lovely, beautiful baby granddaughter was born Feb. 15th. Mother and baby doing well. I've been away at my daughter's house taking care of the three yr. old while she was in hospital. Busy days! Her husband stayed with her the whole time, sleeping in a chair, wherever he could to be with her and the baby, supporting and loving. Wow, what a great husband and father. Am home again and catching up on posts.
Thank you for the kind words...I knew I could count on you to getting me thinking and help me think this through. Your right it may be necessary to have someone drive me for the time being if I want to get to my classes. I think what I was really worried about was becoming housebound again meaning going back to being a severe agoraphobic again if I am stuck at home for to long..I am feeling a little better after getting out yesterday..I have worked so hard to have the freedom I have today and if that means giving a little of it up so that I can keep the freedom I have it is definitely worth it and very necessary...
