All went well with his moms surgery.He was sappost to fly back today,but it will be a day or 2 later.She had a hard time coming off the ventilater.I am so happy that,that whole thing ended on a positive note.He wants to spend time with her at home ,which she should be out of the hospital tonight.I so bad need him home,but that makes me sound selfish,as he needs to be with his mom,and I would also.

Wow you guys,1st let me say I am sorry I was MIA on this thread.Yea Sheriann Dollywood isnt one of my favorites.I was having a real bad anxiety (growth spurt) 2 yrs ago,and found myself HOUSEBOUND,was only comfortable hiding in my room,gees it was awful,and dave thought it would help to take me somewhere.It did help but,I was scared to death the whole time.When we finally made our destination,the room he reserved,WAS ON THE 8TH floor way up on a mountain.Yea okay,we ended up on the 1st floor really quick as I would not leave the vehicle.There were so many interesting sites,that I soon wasnt so consumed with my anxiety,which was really reasuring for me.


Like I mentioned I think Dave likes good ol' Dolly and wants to go back.lol

Jeanie, If you don't mind sharing, what was the turning point that got you out of your house?

I feel for ya, Jeanie. I am sure that remembering the past was painful for you. I reached the same level, too. There was no place to go but up! I had family & friends staying with me round the clock because I was terrified of being alone. Always unamed fears or unrealistic ones. Meds, therapy & time helped to heal me. Like you, I still have triggers. But, I also have taken control of staying well. Not allowing myself to fall back into that rut. Congrats on coming so far, gf & sharing your story! Good luck & GBU! (((Many hugs))) jan

I know what you mean about there really being no safe place...that's something I struggle with a lot. When you've lost people close to you or know that those close to you are ill, it can seem so scary. Then I look at my new husband that I love so much and realize just how much a person has to lose. That's the catch to loving, I guess. The more you have, the more afraid you are to lose it. For me, I think that's the heart of my fear. But, in my rational mind I know that I don't want to be by myself, loving no one and not being loved in return. So, the only choice is to learn how to live each day and be thankful for what I have, and to try to make each day better. That's been a real drive behind seeking help for my anxiety...the realization of the impact it has and will continue to have on quality of life and my desire to have the best life I can.

As for the thoughts about being scared in the shower...I have certainly had those thoughts! As well as many others...I saw a car with a trailer on the road today and for a split second was absolutely sure the trailer was going to jack-knife and it would hit me. I think that stuff all the time...No matter what seemingly irrational thought any of us has had, I'm sure someone else has had it before too :)
