My mom died as of tomorrow the 23rd. I am going to the cemetary tomorrow. I think about her everyday so me thinking about her now isn't any different except I can't believe it has been 1 year already. I have been grieving so much that it feels like it wasn't long ago that she died. I miss her so much.


I went to my GP yesterday and she told me I was having severe panic attacks and anxiety. She gave me more xanax until I see my pdoc Thursday. I am trying to hang in there. I might see if I can get myself out of the house to go shopping for a little while to get my mind off some things, but we will have to see. Right now my head is in a fog.


I hope everyone is well.


Tina

I know what you mean, Tina.
My mom's birthday is coming up in a few days. I don't know what that will be like for me. I will only try to live through it.

Express!

Tina,
I am sorry to hear about your mom. I honestly dont know how you feel, but I will pray for you to help you get through this. The one thing I can add about anxiety that works for me not to go out (cause I can get flustered around alot of people) but to do a task that I know I can do, or call a close friend and make plans (ie bike ride, walk ect.) Good luck. I will be thinking of you.

Oh Tina!! (((Hugs))) to you! I'm so sorry you're having such a difficult time right now. It's understandable. I don't know what to say except that I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you are able to get out and shop. I know I have a difficult time leaving the house, but retail therapy always helps me.

Hugs,
Renee
