i have been taking a break from everything. you should see my kitchen. i really don't want to attempt to tackle THAT mess! LOL.
i'm doing alright. the switch to xanax has helped, although i still have some overwhelming anxiety from time to time and some panic attacks. it is better than it was.
DH has been great, most of the time. he took me to dinner last week and said we need to do this at least once a week. he sat and talked to me a lot. he told me how he loves me so much and he wants more of my attention, he wants me to talk to him more, he wants to just cuddle (this from the man who does NOT cuddle)...i could go on and on. he is changing, but for the better. i appreciate it. now if i could make that xbox disappear...
DS is getting switched to a toddler bed. right now, we have his mattress against the wall on the floor of our room. i have some sleeping bags piled next to it, in case he rolls off and for me to lay on to calm him before he sleeps or if he wakes up. i made the mistake of passing out there the other night (xanax will do that to you at bedtime!) and slept on the floor all night. we have hardwood floors. OUCH. my back and hips are still out of whack, and my sciatica is worse. can't do that again, that's for sure!
anyway, that's about it. i'm doing ok. my body is still hurting but healing from my last surgery and i have a checkup next week sometime.

Thx for the update, Leslie. You are very lucky to have such a supportive & loving dh. You seem to be doing better with the xanax. I think now that the surgery is over & you're healing from it, your emotions are more in balance. You sound so much better. Not so pressured & overwhelmed. Give yourself some credit, gf. You are responsible for much of that improvement. Good luck & GBU! (((hugs))) jan

Hi Leslie,

It sounds as though your doing well. You dh sounds like mine. Very supportive.
I am diagnosed with adjustment disoder with severe anxiety. Its a scarey thing but I am thankful that we all have this board to come to.
