Gerry, thank you for your words. Once again - they are wise.
When I am in the middle of a panic attack, it is hard to not think of what I am feeling then and there... but I am getting to the point of if Jarrod is there, I have him pray for/over me, and if he's not, well, I do my best, pray my hardest, and use the grounding techniques that I've learned and that I'm teaching myself slowly as the days go by.
Fears are not easy things to face. My hugest fear is of throwing up, from a traumatic experience when I was five (whole family got food poisoning while 800 miles from home). Yet I am becoming able to tell myself that even if I throw up, I will be okay. That is a huge step for me, for before I couldn't even think up to the point of me maybe throwing up. And I am not close to it when I am panicky - it's just that I think I am - and it is so hard to fight those thoughts, the "oh no, what am I going to do, I feel awful, I'm so scared, I don't know what to do" - those thoughts.
I want to find freedom from anxiety. I really do. I'm trying my hardest to tackle the panic attacks, because they can be so debilitating, but it is so hard!!!! But... I am honestly working at it, and with God's help and truth, I will be able to overcome them someday. Don't know when, but the day will come when I can just work past them. It's coming, I can feel it now. It's just not here quite yet.
...
I am doing better as far as my psychosis goes. This morning was really bad and I am still low today - so much work to do, as I said before - but I got most of it done, thankfully. So stressed about it, though. But I am not so afraid of the apartment, although this morning, when I left, believe me, I was almost running away from it. Coming back was better, because I was so exhausted and just wanted to lie down on our bed... safe there.
Anyway. I should go and get ready for bed, early to bed and early to rise. I should be back on tomorrow morning early!! s Have a lovely evening/day.
