Thank you for reading my blog but more importantly thank you for caring. I don't mean to worry anyone but your concern moves me greatly.

Well, pdoc of course says the meds will help more and more. My therapist is still trying to figure me out. We're focused on finding ways to calm me during intense anxiety which is a lot of mindfulness stuff like meditation, breathing, etc. And I'd say we both deserve a break.

Thank you for your understanding, it means a lot to me. I only returned to PC a couple weeks ago and that understanding has made a difference. There's a certain safety and comfort in it and while it may not prevent total freak outs or intense periods of despair, it certainly helps me get through them.

Your sympathy and understanding are enough, thank you.

No, first I've heard of them. I'll look 'em up, thank you. And thanks for the support onmyway. Here's hoping we can both find that magic wand that poofs these problems away.

I responded to you in PM but I wanted to say again, thank you.
I know I didn't have to respond to each of you but I was in such a dark place last night and your support has made a huge difference for me today. It's an amazing thing, we don't really know each other, we're like strangers on a train and yet, all of this compassion and sympathy in spite of the immense pain I know each of you are enduring on your own. To use a word I generally shy away from, it's miraculous and it gives me hope.
Today has been a roller coaster of anxiety, depression, and eerie periods of calm. I wish it were better news but that's how it turned out today. But I'm still hanging in and so far I'm coping better than yesterday.
Thanks, all of you.
