Hello!
Enjoyed chat Tuesday, hope I get the chance to jump in again soon. School is still kicking my butt and the anxiety is not helping, but I think there might be hope. I am totally concentrating on kids and school with a little of me thrown in. I officially cancelled Thanksgiving and declined all invitations. Plan to stay home and study! 3 exams that next week. Christmas is on hold, I will think about that later on.
I actually drove myself to school yesterday without incident, I have a constant fear that my car will break down and I will not know what to do. Thought I should make myself a note card to keep in the car to tell me what to do in case of emergency. Actually not a bad idea! Might help alleviate the anxiety.
I hate to say this outloud but I have not had a full blown panic attack since September. It took me weeks to recover from it but I am somewhat "stable". A couple days ago my anxiety was causing me nausea, tears, and feeling of doom; but I think I feel better today. Trying to stay positive.

Lisa.....sounds as if things are going well for you, that's wonderful hope they continue. I liked the idea about a notecard in the car to help remember what to do in case of an emergency. If and when I ever drive again I think I'll try that it would sure help with that helpless feeling when anxiety strikes.
