    Thursday, August 14, 2008 | An Anxious story

    Well my husband comes home tomorrow, haven't seen him in a month.  I am here trying to sell this house, he is out of state with his new job since retirement in May.  It's tough, but it'll all work out.  I am anxious to see how he treats me since reading the information I sent him about anxiety/panic disorder.  He said he has a better understanding....we'll see....

  • Moving Day Is Nearing....

    Thursday, September 25, 2008 | An Anxious story

    Well the movers will be here Oct. 9 to pack me up, and the truck will be here the next day to load my stuff up.  Seems each day closer to this is getting more and more difficult.  I know they will pack up the majority of my stuff, and I choose to pack alot of my own personal things and move myself in my car/truck, but when I look around my house it's hard to imagine that this will b...

    Friday, October 17, 2008 | An Anxious story

    Well today is my 43rd year on this earth.  I woke this morning feeling rather listless - really didnt want to do much of anything at all - but after an hour I took a shower blew my hair dry and rode into the office.  I feel now like there is a weight on my chest and on the verge of tears - I dont know if I am missing Barry or just feeling lonely - Funny how you can feel isolated in a ro...

  • Just added a new disease to my effing chart...

    Monday, June 29, 2009 | An Anxious story

    The Dr has started me on a new medication called Metformin. He thinks I have polycystic ovarian syndrome. Plus my blood sugar was a bit high when it was tested last month.
    I am scared to take the new medication but I know I need to try to trust my dr. It is hard for me to trust drs after being misdiagnosed twice.
    I am anxious about my health declining. I sometimes feel like I am slowly dying.

    Wednesday, October 14, 2009 | An Anxious story

    Today I tried to call Social Services to begin planning for residential care for my husband who is in early/ mid stages of Alzheimer's disease. It is in an unbroken chain from his grandmother to six sibling of and including his father, his sister. With each generation it is later onset and less upsetting behavior. Complicating matters is my multichemical sensitivity which means I could never ...
