Good Afternoon Friends!



I can feel myself coming out of the anxiety/panic attack world.   Im having better days.  Is it a struggle? of course.  I look upon the progress instead of the actual events.   However, I am still feeling the residue of waking suddenly early mornings, which jolts the racing thoughts.   I am working on conquering this issue.   I can eat.  There were times in my previous episode years ago when I could not eat and lost considerable amount of weight.  I refuse to go back there, so I eat something if it is just a little, this issue I have conquered.    I am journaling and doing an emotional check daily.   I recongnize negative feelings and behaviors, I immediately pray and ask God to remove them.   I in return shut that door so that anxiety can not enter through it again.   As mentioned, I face the next giant of sleeping througout the night and to wake up without racing thoughts.   I am not on medication, I believe very heavily in prayer and psychotherapy.   I also see a therapist once a week until I am redirected to a more calm peaceful place.

Sounds like you have done a lot of work. I, myself, cannot cope without the right meds. Prayer can be empowering. That's great that you are getting therapy. I am too. One joy in my life is my new kitten who is snuggled up with me right now. Do you have any pets? Do you have any other support systems? Have a good day. Maybe try Melatonin for sleep.

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    Reality Check

    Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job.  It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it.  Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown.  There was a full length mirror in the changing room.  I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like.  It was a reality check.
