Wow what a week to say the least. Gave my first talk to the anxiety and panic group. Told them my whole story of how bad I was to how I am now.  They could not believe (and neither could I when I lookback at myself) how I managed to go from a complete basket case to talking to them. I took meds and came off of them. I learned cognative behavior theraphy, i learned diet and nutrition, i learned relaxation and on and on and on... They got  a good laugh out of my story about the earthquake and my two cats. I even had a girl flip out on me during the speech with one heck of a panic attack. I was able to seize the moment and helped her breathe and talk her way out of it. She was amazed and so was the class on how I managed to help her get out of it rather quickly. (I was amazed at myself also). And as if this was not enough, my husband and I were in charge of the Kiwanis pancake breakfast sunday. I worked from 6:30 am to 2:30 pm. On my feet all day -not one break- not even time out for a pee!! We were busy as heck. When we got home I colapsed on the couch--I was pooped out. Later when I tried to get up my feet and legs hurt so much that I fell off the couch on to the floor. I could not stand or walk-- But i recovered. I walked like frankenstein for the rest of the evening. Thank God my husband ordered in pizza to eat, I don't think either one of us had the strength left to go out to eat and I certainly wasn't going to cook. Well what will next week hold for me? I know for one thing I have a load of embroidery work to do. It will take me the whole week to get it all done but what else awaits--who knows !!!!! AARRGGGGGHHHHHHHHH
