well ladies;)


i had my son's 2nd bday party today...and i was "sure" i was going to need a xanax and have a panic attack...but i didn't!


i was SUPER nervous before the party started waiting for people to show up, and had a few "almost" panic attacks...but i got through it, and once people started to show up i felt less anxious...


so i'm "happy" about this...


what annoys me is that i think like this at all!

Heather I think we all suffer from the anticipation of an event. Glad the bday party went well and you were able to hold back the anxiety. I'm so proud of this accomplishment.

I am so glad the party went well!

I know what you mean about not being 'normal.' I was just saying to my sister it's hard to make the decision to go on drugs just so you can feel normal.

My dh had some good advice - he said the time to examine your life is not when you're depressed, or dealing with anxiety or whatever. He said to concentrate on doing what you have to do to feel good again. Then you can deal with the bigger issues like "why." And we may never know why. It's frustrating! My therapist has been very helpful in helping me deal with this aspect of it. She said this is not 'who I am' - it's just something I'm going through right now.

Not to mention that I think any woman who was 8-9 months pregnant would be stressed about having a kids' birthday party! Don't get down on yourself. Congratulate yourself for getting through the day!
