Doing OK

My sleep schedule is working!!! I'm so happy. I got bed at midnight with an ambien and sleep through til somewhere between 8-10 then I lie down at 3 and take a nap generally til 6. It's working! I'm not getting to that really tired stage because I am making myself lie down before I get there.

I'm still having panic attacks though. 3 in particular I can remember from this week - triggered by taxes, listening to tapes on victimization, and then last night I had a rough one - no tangible trigger though I think it had something to do with thinking about my family.

I sometimes have a chocolate addiction. So, I bought a bag of Dove dark chocolate (the healthy kind, right??) and put one weeks worth (2 a day) in a chinese wooden box I have. The rest went in my littls cash safe under lock and key. So far it's worked. I've opened the wooden box once a day and taken out two. Then I haven't gone back in it for more. Lol, how's that for creativity in controlling addictions?

Next Monday the sexual abuse group I'm in is ending. That will be the end of my 'conquer anxiety part 1' goal on here. I'll need to come up with a part 2. That group really didn't help with conquering anxiety though! lol, it certainly increased it a lot!
