Whoo hoo! You go gf! I am so proud of you. I wish I could've been on that camping trip. Sure sounds like everyone had a good time. Try not to hang on to your anger. Apologizing to your uncle should do the trick!


Thx for the update. We'll be looking for your posts & see you in chat. Wishing you continued success. (((hugs))) jan

Ana,
im so glad you had a good time camping! that's great new,I think you should be very proud of yourself for making it through the weekend without a panic attack.
you should use this weekend as a reference point now whenever you feel anxiety coming on. it's a trick that really works for me, thinking about the times i wasn't scared and wasn't thinking about my health.

Ana, I'm so happy for you - sounds like a great getaway. I agree that you should think of this when you get anxious, remember how well you did & let it inspire you and help you through the tough times. Anxiety is hard to beat, but it can be done. I think you showed yourself that on this trip!

Hey Ana,


I am so happy to hear that you had a good time. When you feel down and out just remember that it is possible to feel "normal" and happy. I have to tell myself that often...
