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 slept well last night and I hope many of you did also. It has been about 10 weeks now since I had a bad setback. I have come a long way! Therapy, drugs, DS friend support, books, and input all help.
I am glad I have kept my success/worry journal because it confirms how much better I am in only 10 weeks.
I think that had I not been writing, that on days where I have a step or two backwards I would think nothing is working.
I have done more to step out of my comfort zone in the last 10 weeks than I did in 2008. All this works!

Also, sometimes we try too hard and need a break from all of it.
Remember, there will be setback and if you journal your successes you can look back on a crapy day and know you will get better again.

My best friend and i went yard saling the whoooole day yesterday---we had a blast! Today i woke up with a headache so ive just been lounging around---about to head to bed now,work comes early---
Have a marvelous Monday!---Hugz,Kim
I had a bad day! Lots going on at home and I'm trying to keep up with it all but I just don't have the energy and my pain levels have been trough the roof lately.
Right now I have three grandsons living with me and my daughter Sarah and her boyfirend. (He boyfriend has worked about one month out of the last 6 months) and my X wants to move in temporarily. .. so I'm doing meals for 6 people on a daily basis and I'm the only one who drives .. Sarah's boyfriend and my X both have DUI's.
I'm feeling the strain financially with utilities trippled and food bills through the roof and gas of course was just nuts.. funny how they have us thinking that it is low now!!!!!
My daughters boyfriend is rude and selfish and I basically can't stand him. On the odd days when he has had a paycheck in the last 6 years.. he goes out and blows it and leaves my daughter and her son with nothing.. then he expects her to pay everything with her family allowance. He just an immature 30 something man who has never owned anything becuase he can't hold down a job and what money he gets he blows.... what made me really annoyed recently was finding out the last money he blew he owned my grandson 160.00 which is a lot of money to him. My daughter can see who he is but she's so stressed she has this false sence of thinking she needs him for support.. when basically he is the problem.
I don't mind sharing my home with any of these people except for her boyriend.. it irks me to no end that he is asleep at 2:00 in the afternoon when there are so many things that need to be done or when I'm driving his son to and from school.. (not that he can without a license) but the jerk could be up doing something to make himself useful or applying for jobs!
Anyways, that's my life lately .. I have not been here much cause I'm pretty much warm out. I have injuries from my accident 6 years ago and I have FM and I hate being taken advantage of.. don't get me wrong I love my daughter and her son here and I'd do anything for her.. but this guy is a guy with an overinflated ego, a bragger, a lazy sot lol, who literally blows any money he makes and I feel so bad cause if my daughter stays with him.. they will never have anything.
Anyways, not whinning to get comments or support lol... just letting you all get a peak.. (just a little one lol) on what my days are like.
XOXO to all of you,
I too won't be here daily.. don't have the energy..
Really good to see you Jamie! How are you?
Betsy looks like you are the glue holding this place together lately! You are doing a great job!
