Hi everyone! It's been a while since I have posted, things have been changing in my life and it is hard to keep up with everything ;)
I started my first nursing job on a heavy medical floor in a hospital. So far I *think* I like it but that is hard to admit. Not used to having a positive in my life and recognizing it. My anxiety has been all over the map, some days I am very good and others not so good. But I think I am leveling out. I just need to stay positive and practice my breathing. Lately whenever I feel anxious/troublesome thoughts enter my mind I tell myself to breathe. I totally switch it over and empty my mind of everything but my breathing. I feel like it really helps. Also I have been doing some positive affirmations, I have some on my ipod and listed to them on my way to work (long drive)
More changes are ahead as I am planning a move soon. This will involve my children switching schools, moving to a new town, and basically starting my life over. I think it sounds nice ;) This old life is getting old and unhappy, a fresh start sounds really great. Maybe that will help with the anxiety too, will keep you posted.
Hugs,
Lisa

Thank you! I do think a fresh start will help me tremendously. I feel that this home atmosphere is negative and this town is small and claustrophobic. I need to get out and experience life in a new place.
Hugs,
Lisa
lisa,
thanks for the update! I'm really glad to hear that things are going well, and you are managing your anxiety well.
Thanks for the support Heather. I feel like I am walking on thin ice somedays but do see an improvement. You will get there too, I hear you are on bedrest! Try to enjoy it if you can. I was on bedrest during my last pregnancy and understand how it feels.
Big hugs,
Lisa
Soon your new life will begin and I am SURE it will be
for the best and happy!!! GBU Judy
