Hi everyone!

(((((Innerzone))))) Those cookies sound too good!!!!! And well done for forgoing the "adult beverages". Wishing you well!

((((((Clive))))))) Glad the anxiety is not so bad today and glad that you have another distraction. The internet is a lifesaver!!!!

((((((((Eileen)))))) Really sorry you feel exhausted today. I hope you can catch up on some sleep tonight.

(((((((((VJ))))))))))) Well done for changing all the sheets!!! It will be very pleasant going to bed tonight! Sorry you are feeling restless. Do you find that the computer helps distract you? I do find the computer very helpful as a means of distraction (I actually get too distracted!!!) You mentioned though that you can't stay on here too long, so perhaps that isn't an option, but I was just wondering. At any rate, I'm sending you big hugs! Also, I think you always find the right words!

I feel better today. No idea why. But I have a lot more energy and I don't feel sick or ill. I am sad because I'm taking my Mom to the airport later and I will miss her a lot. But it feels like a "normal" kind of sad. I mean, it makes total sense that I feel sad about saying goodbye to my Mom, whereas so often I have these free-floating very strong (negative) emotions that I don't understand. My Mom has been visiting for 6 weeks and she is flying home today. I really love my Mom and I only see her once a year when she comes out here. I am sad to say that one of my biggest phobias is flying....It's a long flight to get to where she lives (I am from the UK originally and that's where my Mom lives) and I haven't been able to do it in over two years......This is a huge source of guilt for me. Luckily she comes here once a year for 6 weeks.....Even just going to the airport makes me nervous. I really, really, really, really need to find a way round this. I used to be able to fly. I hated it, but I could do it. Then when my anxiety stuff really escalated it just became impossible.....

Sorry to write so much. Hugs to all!!!
