Anxiety and POSITIVE CHOICES Community Group
Learn the skills to conquer overwhelming anxiety from physical to emotional coping. We can choose how we feel and think, you just have to be willing to make those changes and commit to them.
Good morning.
I'm adjusting to the time change. Went to bed at new time 15 minutes later last night and woke up new time 30 minutes later. I think I can easily adjust this next week. As long as I can get 8 hours of sleep I am fine.
Friday night I went to dinner with hubby and daughter and her baby's daddy :). It was so much fun. I took half a xanax at 4PM and another half right before they arrived. What a miracle drug it is for me. I just have to continue to work on the "what-if?"s ahead of time.
After having a great evening I woke up the next day confident and not anxious at all. I am hoping I am having more improvements since I thought I was at a lull/stand still recently.
Well, I am off to see my counselor. I went 10 days this time between sessions. Trying to save some money...but I can't put any dollar value on being rid of panic and anxiety so I'll figure out how to make it work.

Mema, It's partially sunny here today... but last night we had 3 hours of freezing rain, then bombarded with ice pellets, then it changed to snow.. so I guess it's the calm after stage now.
Scardey, Bravo for standing up for yourself. That takes guts!! Don't give up if it does not work out the first time... you know what they say about the squeeeeeky wheel.
Rabbits, you'll have to keep us up to date on the ahwagandha. I too researched just about everything when my anxiety was at it's height and I do believe that all of that played a part in my journey to wellness. This is the first I have heard to this one though and it will be interesting to hear how it helps you.
Hugs everyone!!! It's a new week! Stay positive!

I am waiting ro unemployment to come through
I am working with HR - out of work since last week
I think I may need to file a good counselor beside jst getting
some meds
I am sad because I was bullied out but it will be better in long run
I don't get defensive or think I know it all...since what I've been doing all these years hasn't been working.
She gives me an assignment and I do it! This past weekend and today has been awsome. My husband and I went to lunch today. My idea. I felt no anxiety...since Friday before we went to dinner. Dinner was a success and I have been feeling confident ever since.

And, I remembered things that all through my child rearing and my career.. things I had used and implemented... and somehow when it came down to 'me' .. to 'just me'.. I had never thought of using the strategies I had known.... and when it 'hits' you.. it's a revelation.. and you just want to scream it to the world...
anyways... i love your posts betsy.. you are an inspiration.
