<font color="red"> Well, I had another one last night. I'm not really sure why they are starting up again. But at least this time it was your run-of-the-mill panic attack (fear), and not the out-of-body ones!!

You are so blessed to have xanax. I don't have anything to take for a panic attack. The doctors around here are scared they'll get their patients addicted! *sigh* They don't have much say until they've walked in somebody else's shoes, right? But...they have all the power. Such is life.

I have an appointment today for a volunteer position at the food/clothing bank. I've been trying to back out of it for a week....scared to death....but I think I'm actually going to be able to make it over there today. WooHoo! I can empathize with people who don't have enough food or clothing, and I think it's an absolutely wonderful place to volunteer. Now I have to screw up my courage to the sticking point!!

I won my daughter 4 tickets to see the new SpongeBob Squarepants movie!!! We have to go and pick those up today. More nerve required to get outside and actually do it!!

How are you doing today? Were you able to get your xanax dose increased? If that's what it takes to have a better quality of life, then go for it! We only have this one life...we don't get a second chance...and if that requires us to use medications, so be it. I want to enjoy this one life I have, not always be nervous.

Hugging you!!

Sandy
