((((((((((((((angelgirl)))))))))))))))

I know exactly what it feels like to have severe anxiety and be soooo miserable you think you can't last one more second.

We are also going through financial trouble, over. We owe the IRS over $12,000.00 Our real estate and school taxes are a year behind, we owe state taxes, all the bills are lot.....lol even our burial plot we are paying on......no9t funny but it amuses me somehow that I cannot even afford to pay for my funeral!

I have always suffered from para;yzing anxiety.until this past year. I got on Zoloft.I decided to hit my problems head on..........I am now able to drive for 7 yrs even car commercials made me sweat and tremble) I leave the house every day(no more peeking out the mini blinds) too paralyzed to even go and get cigarettes!(which I have not smoked since January)

Many things help me with my anxiety.........prayer, talk, journals, medicine, friends, hope, gratitude.

The losing the house part is hitting me pretty hard some days. I have no job skilss and my husband is usuallly fed up with me not providing any money.but I say I can only deal with one day at atime...I am going to sign up for some fre adult education classes in computer and go from there.

What I tell myself about losing the house is this...( a twist on the gratitude list) is this...even if we have to rent again...if we lose every material possession we have.. we have each other, we have had more than many many citizens of this world....so many women in foreign lands have nothing!! they lack even their basic freedoms and dignity...I am blessed beyond measure even if I lose it all..because I have the freedoms to gain it all back..aND THEN SOME. And it may be, God willing we will not lose our home....I pray we do not....but I have to stay in each day...and not fear the future........worry and anxiety feed off itself and it grows out of control real quick....try and stay in today...find your inner peace and know there is peace during the storm..no matter how wild the storm may.

Prayers for you and your family.........I pray it all works out for the best. (((HUGE HUGS))))
