Trying hard here

Hi guys,

I'm trying hard here to keep it together. I am not drinking, but I am having panic issues, again. It just sucked today. I thought if I talked about it, it might get easier. Thanks for listening.

Flgirl,

Hi, it happens that way, some days good, some days bad but no matter what I know that alcohol/drugs can't make it any better and only end up making it worse. I like to run when I'm feeling down, I also tend to pray and then read something. I've found that when I'm reading it's hard to focus on poor little me. They say the worst neighborhood in town is being alone with your own thoughts. Well, hang in there... The Sun will come up tomorrow... er.. sorry about that!

John

Thanks! I have absolutely no desire to drink, so I guess that's something in my favor

Hey...

Yeah it does help to talk about, I think. Write a few paragraphs or a small book if it helps, I'll read it.

Don't be afraid of writing too much, just do whatever it takes. People are here for you.

There were times I wanted to choke someone when they'd say "this too shall pass".

But they were always right!

I think just being able to tell someone about the panic has already been helpful. I'm starting to settle down. Thank you for being here!

It really is true, the saying that a problem shared is a problem cut in half.....keep sharing it until it is so small you can squash it!!!

I got freaked out because I could start to feel the panic starting when I was driving to and from work today. I just hate feeling like that.
