  • Journal Entry for June 9, 2008

    Monday, June 9, 2008 | An Anxious story

    Agggghhhh!
    i just wrote a whole entry and it got deleted with the wrong touch of a button.
    what does that mean? besides that i effed up?
    it drives home the point i was making, or th.e general feeling of frustration that i have.
    that things, feelings, life in general is beyond my  control.
    but also that our thoughts create our feelings.
    and feelings create more feelings.
    deep and vague. boggy.
    an...

  • Fingers Crossed

    Monday, September 8, 2008 | An Anxious story

    Monday, September 08, 2008 – 9:55 A.M.
    I finally had a good night’s sleep. I went to bed, watched TV for about an hour, turned everything off, and conked out for eight hours. I woke up feeling refreshed.
    This morning, most of the pain I have been having from the infections seems to have disappeared.  I have my fingers crossed it will stay that way. I still have to call my docto...

  • I'm sad :(

    Monday, September 8, 2008 | An Anxious story

    My panic attacks are increasing again.  I think my body's telling me "look if you didn't get the message a few months ago, I'll turn it up a notch".   
    I've felt these feelings before, not just recently but years ago ... right before a counsellor helped me figure out I needed to break up with my live-in boyfriend of 6 years.  Eeek.  Bottom line,&n...

  • "Looks Pretty Permanent..."

    Friday, April 17, 2009 | An Anxious story

    Changing in front of the mirror is a ritual for me.
    When I'm feeling unhappy, stressed, anxious, angry (or any sort of emotion, really), I'll spend about 10 seconds washing my face, and then change into my pyjamas.  I'll spend close to an hour (no exaggeration) poking and prodding my stomach, thighs, buttocks, calves, breasts, arms.  In between, I'll close my eyes, hoping...
