Thanks for updating us Red.
 
Sounds like you are doing great. I still have moments where I remember when you first came here...It's amazing how much you have learned to deal with anxiety and how positive you are! You are an amazing role model for other members on the site.
 
Keep updating us and take care!

Hi Red:

I am sorry to read that you had a challenging and anxious day.  It's nice that you are learning techniques here to learn how to manage better - I love this site, too.  It was a gift to find.
 
Have a better evening and tomorrow,

Today I was waiting for phone calls and was letting my anxiety get out of control again..I was not able to get in the car and pick up my Rx because of all the anxiety I was having..My safe person drove me and I tried some of the deep beating exercises that they have here on the site..They really helped a lot and I was able to calm down and do what I needed to do.
I missed a call from one of my doctors this morning and the anxiety was building again as I waited all day for a call back to discuss another upcoming test..I was just about to give up when she called..We discussed why I needed the invasive test and once I understood why I was ok with it..I was immediately relived and now have a plan of action..For me knowing the why, having a plan and knowing what steps to take to reach the goal is very important..As long as we take it in steps I will be ok..This is something that I learned to do here on this site..I have learned so much here it would take forever to list it all and all of it has helped me in so many ways in my life..It has given me the strength to get through so many things..as has all the support and sharing of life experiences that we do here are on the site..I am so glad I came here...

Good morning Sunny,
I was pleasantly surprised to read your post this morning..Thank you for the encouraging words and sending good vibes my way..It really does make a difference when you have people cheering you on to tackle the next obstacle on your path..This support gives me more strength to carry on and do what I have to do now instead of turning and running from my fears..It really does make a difference as do you..  Thank you!
 
Thinking of You and Davit too..

Hi Ashley,
 
Thank you very much! Your support and positive energy is greatly appreciated!
 
I was able to relax most of the day by getting involved in one of my hobbies while I was waiting for calls about my Rx and waiting to go to my consultation with a Kidney specialist..I never received a call about my Rx but did assert myself again and called to check on it. They say they will call me tomorrow morning. If not I guess I will just have to go to their office and raise a little hell .  Now on to the consultation today..It went well, the Doctor is going to consult with interventional Radiology, we may do a aspiration biopsy if possible or possibly arthroscopic excision or my Renal cysts..So for now we are still working on it..We will know more after the biopsies but for now it does not look like cancer. Yeah!!
Once I get my Rx issues resolved I can rest for the next few days before my colonoscopy..So all in all it has been a pretty good day..I was able to let myself relax with positive distractions and I was able to do my exposure today..I am really looking forward to resting up for a few days before the next round of tests. I have been able to take a lot more than I thought I could and guess what, I still have my head on straight  .. I am very grateful for that. ..Oh yeah I am eating solid food again..A little reward for a job well done...
 
Till next time...

Good luck Red!
 
I know you will do well. You have worked hard to get where you are now with the anxiety and life has thrown you a curve ball with these health issues. Times like this are the universe's way of pushing us to learn more. You are certainly strong enough; just make sure you don't forget that if things get tough.
 
Let us know how it goes today! I will be checking in to hear.
 
Sending positive energy your way!

Hello Vincenza,
Thank you so much for concern and support..
Last nights sleep was a bit fitful..Nightmares and such..I did wake up in a panic this morning but am feeling a bit better now that I have been up for a while..So it is time to face the day..Today my goal is to try to focus on a relaxing distracting activity of some kind so that I can stay calm while I wait to do my exposure this afternoon at the doctors office. I think that if I can do this that it will help me a great deal..It is easier said than done of course..but I think posting it here makes it more real, and is the first step in being able to accomplish my goal..

Wish me luck..and a prayer or two wouldn't hurt either!!

Hi Red, 
 
Sorry to hear you are getting such a 'run-around' just to get a prescription filled.   You have the right attitude though, you have done everything you can for today now take time for yourself to relax and let the negative energy go.  I hope you have a good rest and know that you are handling things as best you can!

Update.
Still working on the problem, made another call, Rx was ready but had the wrong date on it so I will have to call back tomorrow to see if I can pick it up plus go to see a specialist tomorrow...All of This Exposure at once has been very hard to take which isn't helping me to physically or emotionally well. So I decided to do something positive and do it now. Take a long hot shower to help me relax and calm down..
There is nothing else I can do about today until tomorrow..So the best thing I can do for myself now is to let myself unwind and relax so that I can face tomorrows exposure. Anxiety and panic has been such a debilitating disorder. I am so very tired...
