well thats it i am officially signed up for group.....2 hours every wendsday till december..its a lil far away tho so im nervous about having to take the bus there and all that but it will be nice to know that i am not alone and meet some ppl who understand anxiety first hand not just from reading it in books.  im sure i will meet some new ppl there aswell.  anxiety has diven all of my friends away so i really have none anymore which i guess is y i spend so much time on the computer...the computer is my friend and i have my computer friends which i like cause i can just walk away whenevr i want and not hafta deal with there questions.  but there is supposed to be a therapy dog there for the first few groups so as to break the ice and make things a little easier...being a vet assistant and avid animal lover im sure that will ease my mind a bit.  starts this coming wendsday.  it worked well for my sis cause she got to see that she isnt as bad off as she thinks.  and she met alot of ppl who had waaaaay worse anxiety than her and hers was pretty bad to begin with.  but shes doing ok now.  but i do need to change my appointment with the addiction counsellor cause it falls on the same wendsday as my first group and i dont wanna miss my first class lol....so i hafta call her and reschedule....

had a good day today

... what did you have an addiction to? Good for you for getting into a group therapy. I agree having people first hand should make you really feel like you aren't alone and aren't the only one suffering. I too lost a lot of friends since the onset of my panic. But I still have a very few and I'm glad that this happened because it made me realize who were my "real true" friends and those others were never worth it anyways to me now. That is one thing I am grateful to for my panic. Finding out who my true friends are. You will get through this with flying colors, I know it! p.s. the dog is totally going to help. I love animals too! great ice breaker! :) GOOD LUCK!!!!!

	... well in that case, I used to be addicted to weed too..phh, I don't do it anymore since my onset of panic but it isn't a substance you can become physically addicted to. That is so nice of you, do you go to those addiction meetings with your mom? That's such an amazing thing of you to do.
