    I chose anxiety because it is always here for me. I think it effects every part of me, how I feel, how I relate to people and the world, decisions and choices...I can't think of one thing it doesn't effect, everything else is specific to what's going on that particular moment. Do anxiety...

    Today I went to a Zoo by me with my in-laws and my 3 girls, twins 3 years old and my 15 month old baby. I can't really go anywhere unless someone goes with me and the girls, so the girls and I were really excited and happy about getting to the Zoo. When we were there, my father in law had to...

    Does Anyone Else Freak Out When Not Necessary?

    I do too. I really hate it...I freak out about all kinds of stuff and the only thing I can do when it happens is to try and get a hold of myself physically first (slow the breathing, let go of the nails bitting into my palms, wipe the sweat from my brow), then work on the rationalization.

    Isolated and in need of ranting

    Ok, I haven't posted for a while and haven't been supportive like I'd like to be...I think that part of the reason is because I am busy with three children under the age of 3 and also partly because I have been dealing with my symptoms negitavely. I want so badly to be the success story, to...
