I’m With You
You can do this. Just one small thing. If you want to call me, we can talk while you shop. It could distract you enough to get through. Just a thought...

Get Well Soon!
You''ve got to take baby steps. I was afraid to do so much and it's getting better. I couldn't even get off the couch to sleep in my own bed with my husband for fear of an attack. I saw a counselor and he helped a lot. He said to try something small for a few min then go back to comfort zone. Just keep stretching it out. We saw that movie last weekend, I slept thru most of it since I had worked that day I was just DONE. It was good and I want to see it again. Good luck. Do something small for you. Life is a gift, but it's a gift for you so give yourself something you need. I bought a portable pulse ox and that has helped me stray from my comfort zone, if i think i cant breathe or am having an attack, I can check.

Oh what a roller coaster ride huh Khrissy? The anxiety attacks are one of the worst things about this illness. It really helps me to go to this post multiple times during the day to see how everyone is doing and know that others are sharing the same type of experiences. I do take Lorazepam when things start getting too much for me. I am 5 months out and need less, but still have my moments, especially when something new comes along. I will most definitiely keep you in my prayers and wish you did not have to go through with this. That being said, there must be a reason we survived and need to keep our ears open to the Lord. Tske care and God Bless you. Hang in there!
