i am glad you were able to talk to som...Hi Brannan,<br />i am glad you were able to talk to some one and get the help you needed. i myself have PTSD and severe anxiety,to the point that i barely leave my home anymore. luck for me i have a wonderful support system that makes sure i get to my Doctor's appointments and take my meds and i'm better now than i was. at least i can leave the house now without breaking down and waiting rooms are not horrible.<br /> What i find sad is that in this day and age if you have a problem you still have to either pretend you don't or keep it as quiet as possible, unless you want to be treated like the next jack the ripper time bomb that could go off at anytime,or even worse with pity. as if you had contracted so terrible disease and they should feel sorry for you but don't let you come over or spend time with you-you could be contagious!<br /><br /> When are people going to learn that this is no different than if you had a broken leg. you would have surgery to fix it,maybe a pin or 2 to hold it together,then a cast and lots of physical therapy. once the bone heals you still have to go to therapy to strengthen the muscels. NO Different , you are just strengthening your mind instead.<br />Sorry for the very long rant and i really am glad your better.<br />congratulations on all of the wonderful things happening in your life right now. Happy Thanksgiving.<br /><br />Tammy Ramey<br />trvlagnt1t@yahoo.comwyndwhisperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04720377867271773798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8613080565393544110.post-3066617394473031022012-06-25T14:42:03.484-06:002012-06-25T14:42:03.484-06:00I'm glad you're better.

So, it added to it. Writing is an outlet for me, and I love it. Without it, I'm sure I'd be outside everyday climbing mountains to get rid of the stress. <br /><br />Thanks for stopping in.<br /><br />Hugs!Michele_lmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10925068665626573087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8613080565393544110.post-77346685831509424142012-06-21T22:15:29.033-06:002012-06-21T22:15:29.033-06:00Thank you, Nancy,

It kept me from admitting I needed help, that and my mother who insisted I was stronger than all of that. -smdh- I still can't sit long enough to do Yoga, but I'm working on just sitting and allowing myself to relax instead of going and going and going and getting nothing done or going no where. <br /><br />Panic and stress are horrible enemies. <br /><br />Hugs to you!Michele_lmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10925068665626573087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8613080565393544110.post-1319877665915814972012-06-21T21:06:07.295-06:002012-06-21T21:06:07.295-06:00Hello, Emily,
