Hi Girls,


I just got a call from my cousin and she said that my Grandmother was admitted to the hospital Friday night. She had fluid in her lungs again.


My family knew I had the wedding and they didn't want to worry me. So here I am getting the news on Monday morning.


I am so sad because I can't bring myself to drive that far to go and see her. Its about and hour away.


I really don't understand why things keep happening to me. I am somehow being tested and I don't like it. How much am I supposed to handle all at once?


My therapist keeps telling me that she is shocked at all the

I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother. My life is the same way, one disaster after another - none of them being anything I have any control over. I think that's why I'm having such a hard time getting well. I understand how you feel completely. I haven't had a bad panic attack in quite awhile, had a bad one tonight; everything just started spinning, felt like i couldn't breathe. I'm very overtired, it's very hot here & the electricy was out today - all over town. I'm hoping I won't have another. I'm going to go to bed now & hope when I wake up tomorrow it will be better. My pdoc had told me to take an extra xanax if i need one, but i don't want to do that. My next dose is at 9:00 anyways. Your pics are beautiful. I'm post tomorrow, good luck while dh is gone - so hard for all of us when we're separated, isn't it?! I'll "see" you on chat tomorrow.
