  Sometimes I just can't turn my mind off.  Like last night.  I haven't slept at all.  It's a just after 11am.  I want to nap but my ex-husband will be bringing my three youngest kids home in a couple of hours.  He's also going to take a look at my roof which is in desperate need of replacement.  Finances won't allow me to do that but he thinks he will be able to patch it well enough to give me another year or two.  As acrimonious as our divorce started out I have to admit that we're now...

  I survived my first counseling session.  I did a journal entry about it but I'm not sure how to share that? It went well.  I did feel a good connection with the counselor.  She shares a name with my childhood best friend. Same first name and same nickname.  She also goes by the nickname because she and her mother share a first name.  I go by my middle name because I share a first name with my Mom.  I saw those as good signs.  The office itself also felt safe and warm.  Now showy, but...

  I've had agoraphic tendencies and anxiety since I was a very small child.  I came to understand that today while I was with my counselor.  This was my first visit and it went pretty well.  I have a sense of hope I didn't have before. As we talked and touched on my childhood I realized that as young as 4 or 5 I preferred being alone.  I didn't like to go outside.  I didn't like to play with other kids.  I was most content in my room with my books and my dolls and toys.  I NEVER spoke to...

  Had my first appointment with my counselor today.  I was worried going in.  Just having to leave the house during the day was a feat in and of itself.  It helped a little that the day was dreary and rainy.  I don't like sunlight.  I know that sounds so silly.  But dark, overcast, dreary days are soothing to me.  I prefer night to day.  My ex-husband used to joke that I'm part vampire. The way I often cringe in sunlight I wonder if he wasn't far off the mark. But today was a dreary day...

  I have never felt more alone in my life. I'm divorced.  I do have children but the things I'm dealing with are not the kind of things I want to burden them with.  Even my young adult children.  I'm currently on leave from my job.  A leave that is not related to my anxiety and agoraphobic behavior. But being on leave and the stress that has brought on emotionally, physically and financially has triggered something in me.  I have always suffered from anxiety and depression.  I have taken...
