DEEP breath. Breathe in for a count of two and out for a count of four. Repeat. Hang in there!!!!

Thanks for being here. Cymbalta my cat is laying on my tummy purring. Taking deep breaths when I need to. What triggered this was actually was several things; missing my VA appointment for disability as I overslept. Also my neighbors were all outside this afternoon (live in section 8) with some people drinking and drugging and that makes me feel sad and hopeless sometimes and they are not nice people to be around, feel out of control of my life. On top of that I read a post that brought back an extremely painful part of my life. It had a trigger warning on it but did not know what it was about until I started reading it. Having a lot of panic anxiety when I am rapid cycling.

Leah0306, you hit the nail on the head. Now I do not feel so alone about this issue. I ride public transportation which is difficult. Use to not be under the poverty level. I am at the poverty level because I lost everything when I got sick. Did not realize how hard life can be.

So glad you have the kitty! It's amazing how much animals can help. Sometimes I worry that if I reach out to my birdy-girl I will just infect her with all my negativity but after ten minutes of cuddling we are both pretty content. Fortunately I have the one species of bird that wants to be rubbed down like a puppy all the time, she would sleep under the covers with me if I let her...
If I remind myself that it is my brain chemistry making me feel bad and extreme it helps a little. It kinda sounds like you are letting in the problems of the people around you? |

Hey there. Keep positive and try go to sleep. Having a kitty gives you a sense of responsibility and a reason to get up - you need to look after her too. By now I'm sure you know yourself and that this is just an episode - things will get better, you just need to ride this out... ((Hugs))
Feel free to chat or PM any time - thinking of you |

Hi, I hope you are feeling better today.
Sometimes it all gets too much. Be gentle with yourself. No need to be so harsh. We all have times like this. Just rest, focus on yourself and do things you like. Be it a book, a film, a bath, resting with kitty, talking to a friend, drinking your favourite cup of..., etc. Just try to stay grounded as much as possible. I am sending you warm hugs and wishes for a future full of everything you need xxxxxx |

Reading the responses in my post and just resting today. Doing some journaling today. Saving the list of stuff to do to feel more in control of my world until tomorrow...it is not going anywhere. My goal is to be more proactive in my approach to goals. I have let my goals go for so long that I need to start over with goal setting in every area of my life. Not a bad thing since goals need to be updated in accordance with needs. But I want to let everyone know I would not be doing nearly as well today if it were not for all of your encouragement, feedback and caring. You have given me hope and encouragement. Keep it coming (I feel I kill threads whthout intending to). I am doing better but am not out of the woods yet.

I am glad you feel a bit better and taking some rest and time out. Very important. People say that our bodies tell us when we need to rest (by being ill etc) but I think emotions and moods tell us too. So just tend to your own self and this too shall pass.
Hugs to you dear and when the time comes - happy goal setting xxxx |

- wishing you calm and clarity. Take extra good care of yourself - very smart to cuddle with your kitty. Animals have a great calming affect on us. I pray you feel better soon.

I'm in awe of the proactive steps you're taking in spite of your pain. Reaching bravely out to us & saying you need help is such an inspiration to me. I've got to learn how, instead of just crawling into my cave & licking my wounds.
Because you are dear to many more than you know, I went looking for a special hug for you. deer hug.jpg Dang! Too small again. Click on photo to see what I meant it to look like. Last edited by by.grace; Apr 29, 2010 at 01:32 PM. Reason: photo oops |

The VA you say. Not an expert, but of possible assistance in that department.

Hey everyone. Still hanging in there. Called my pdoc today to make a med adjustment on my klonopin. Since it was not an emergency I left a detailed message for him when he gets in tomorrow. Hopefully I can pick it up tomorrow. I read the responses and they are all so wonderful. Would like to respond individually. I am reading and responding a lot less because my energy level is morphing somehow. My anxiety comes and goes. The posts I do respond to right now are kina short. Just far from 100% right now. Guess it will take a while. I have not gotten out for my walk today even. I did rest, worked on goal setting. Gave myself a manicure and now 4 am watch4ng "Fringe". I am still around. Keep the support coming!
