Now I'm really going out of my comfort zone |

I was in the house 4+ years until last December. Now I'm going away for a week! Anxiety is running high, but I AM NOT going to panic. My daughter has been ill. She's now stabilizing on medication. Heartfelt thanks to all of you who wrote and prayed for us the past few weeks. I've had a few bad days, but mostly I am proud of myself for getting through it. On Saturday I am going away with her for a week. She should have been going on a course and had booked accommodation, so we have decided to use it to go for a vacation/holiday. Sounded good when we decided it! The last couple of days with packing and preparing, the old anxiety has reared its head. Shaking, muscle tension, blurred vision, confusion - I tried to get the dinner out of the cupboard instead of the oven tonight ! Blast this damned anxiety. Fortunately where we are going I visited many years ago, so I have been able to visualise it. Walking around the place in my head really helps and my daughter will be with me. My partner is coming down mid week. So I have support , but this is still one enormous challenge for me. We may all have odd socks and salt instead of toothpaste, but who cares - I'm staying positive. I CAN DO THIS. - |  Add as favourites (42) | - |  Quote this article on your site | - | Views: 1306 | - | Print | - | E-mail

What a well earned vacation and time for everyone in the family to set new goals and ambitions! You have come through so much and you are still so positive and pushing through it.
