I feel so weak amd sick today. It is my second day of meds. today. My arms feel like they can barely work. My head feels like it is full of cotton. You know that feeling right before you have a huge panic attack? I am feeling that now. Like any second I am going to explode. I HATE This. I have no one to help me through these feelings. No one to come and hug me and tell me it is going to be alright. My hubby is at work.(He is a chef)Right now he is in the middle of dinner service, so he can't leave. My best friend's dad died on Thursday. So I don't wnat to put anything on her. So has a lot on her hands right now. I am so scared and alone. I know this feeling is going to go away, but It seems like so far away. I am a girl scout leader and tomorrow I have a meeting with my parents. I don't know how I am going to get through this without losing it. All I want to do is go in my room and hide under my bed and never come out. But that may not work, I would have to share that space with my 100 pound rottie. That is her favorite place for a nap. It is so hard to be strong.

Hi,

I think you need a distraction. Do you have a book you could read, a DVD that you like or a jigsaw puzzle you could focus on. When I feel really nervous, I try to work on something that needs my full attention.

I hope this helps, let me know.

Feel better.

I'm thinking that it's your fear of meds that is making you feel *funny*.

i am very familiar with the feelings you are having unfortunatly...i think one of the things we need to learn (i'm still working on this one) is that we need to our own person to turn to and hug ourselves...its hard though, espcially when we are in that really negative, bordering on panic place...


how are you doing today...are you feeling any better?


we are here to support you...we've all been there...

Have you read "The Anxiety Cure"? I'm reading it. It's an 8 step program, you work at your own pace.

Good luck
