Lost my 4&$2 at the yoga school open house/health fair and wouldn't go in. I couldn't. I wanted to be in there but I know I'd come to love it and then want to go to classes there and get my training and then it would be something else I'd just screw up all over again. I also can't afford it. I left, and am still in a kind of panic over three hours later. I'm having si right now because of all this. I'm so weak and crappy. I'm useless

You're not unless, you have an illness. No different than heart diseases or diabetes. It's symptoms can be a treated, but the illness is still there. Hi easy on yourself. You went, and that took courage.

Anxiety doesn't mean you are useless. Sometimes it gets the better of us, and that's okay. We can try again next time. I have had panic attacks from fear of heights one day, and then gone rock climbing another day for example. Having the idea to try something new is a step in and of itself. Maybe you can try again sometime if you would like to. I don't think yoga has to be about succeeding at it or not, it is more about the process in my opinion and getting what you need out of it.

Hi SorryShaped,

I hope you are feeling better. Anxiety is a really tough beast to deal with. I wanted you to know I was thinking of you even though I really don't know what to say.

I've wanted to be an instructor for over a year, to give the gift to others. This is my favorite instructor's teaching school. I don't think I can try again. Maybe

Presently I'm feeling a little different, but I don't know if it's better. Sex helped but it's becoming a crutch. I had some alcohol too, which relaxed me enough to want to have sex.
I'm a mess.
