I've had a person phone me to ask for prayer as she was having anxiety and couldn't get over it and other times she said she was having a panic attack but she never explained how she felt. I don't think she was going through anything as bad as Clockworthy did or that her cousin is though. That would be soooo scary! The person I'm thinking of had counseling and could talk herself out of it most of the time, when she couldn't is when she would phone me. Prayer would relax her.

i knew she was planning to do it but did not now when and i did not know that was her real name to.. I am behind with info :(

i am glad still gave you the boxes so you could change your name :)

I hope so to, it hurts like mad. Just changed the bandages felt and looked ok. But once i was done and relaxing it started to hurt again. So foot up again.. sheesh..

I prob won't ever forget the feeling. I havn't gone through anything else that was that bad, so the feeling of the attacks prob will always stay with me. Even more so if my cousin starts having them. Most time's either could talk out the anxiety attacks or my mum could, but panic attacks took me out. With those my mind would just go blank, my hearing would be like it's in a tunnel, and my lungs and throat will feel like it was about to explode (kind of like the choking/drowning feeling). I'm glad your friend had you for support. Attacks, no matter how small, aren't fun to deal with. It's an invisible disease. No one knows your fighting that battle till you nearly lose it.

your poor toe! I hope it gets better...keep that thing up and resting!

You're educating us. I never heard that panic attacks and anxiety could be that bad. From now on I'll have a better idea of what people go through when they suffer those things. People, including me, use the terms when they just feel mildly anxious or worried - not the same thing at all!

You've been gone for a year. It's understandable that you might be behind. You know me I'm still, and always will be, old and "confuzzled." Should keep my mouth shut or (my fingers off the keys.)Sorry dear.:P

It's hard to keep up with me, I change my mind left right and center, being the Libra that I am. SoHee has no excuse throws blame her end

I wouldn't call you confuzzled lol. You had one of us right xD and Our (me and SoHee) use names so similar, her being Korean and me liking the Korean culture, that being mixed up is so easy. That and this isn't the first time she's confused people on this site XD

As for panic attacks, they can get a lot worse than what I even had. I was just lucky and never past out from it or had to be put on a breathing machine. Got close, but lucky for me I had people around me who cared enough to learn to work with it and would make me do the breathing exercises and raise me feet up for blood flow (Since hyperventilation makes your blood drain from your face and fingers, they would turn a light shade of blue on me). Best thing for someone who has one, feet propped up on something like a pillow, deep breathing (breath in, hold for 5 secs, breath out, repeat) some use paper bags, frozen veggies to go on the chest (helps easy the chest pains), and keep the eyes open. If they close their eyes, could pass out, there is no guarantee the attack will stop just cuz they're unconscious. I know all of this, yet I'm completely useless once I hit panic attack stage cuz my mind just goes blank, so I teach all my friends that I'm out with alot this stuff, just in case.

It's wonderful that you haven't had one of the attacks for years. I pray you never have another one and that what is causing your cousin such a problem will be resolved very, very soon before it gets worse for her. The job sounds great. You'll be indispensable by the time the office administrator comes back from vacation and will have that job full time!!!! I'm glad to hear Rita is on facebook and well. Guess I need to go on facebook myself once in a while. Thank you for passing on my message.

I'm also glad to hear that Rita's doing okay. Sometimes I feel like I miss out on a lot not having a Facebook.

Aww, Rosemary asked me for a today. When I was a little kid my dad had a ton of illustrated birdwatcher books and it was my dream to see one of those! I think I did eventually see a kinglet in a graveyard, but only once. Memories :)

I had such a bad migraine that I had to leave work early today. I tried to tough it out, but there was no way I could handle the public in that state. The worst of it is over and I can function again, but it still lingers. I hate how these things can (and usually do) last for days. I hope I can do business as usual tomorrow.

`hahaha yeah that is right. I am still earning new stuff from the site.

lol! Did you know i am a Libra to?!

I am glad you like your job. Let's hope you can stay.

Fellow Libra!!!! {{huggles}} Hows your toe today?

I'll keep it a secret :giggles: Glad you're liking your new job! as for the anxiety, I'm sorry you had them in the past too. I got a mostly good hold on mine, I just have bad days. Professional help actually made me worse. Questioning me (i.e. "Why did you feel like that" "Why do you think they are like that" "Why do you feel like you can't say thing") triggers me into anxiety right then and there do to all the 'what ifs' and 'it's just me, theres nothing really wrong me with I'm just being dramatic', 'I'm seeing or feeling things that arn't real' so usually 2-4 hours after a session, I'm in a panic attack cuz I literally stressed all my what ifs and self doubt into an attack. For me, I may be my worse enemy when it comes to stress and worry, but I'm my own best friend too. Cuz I know how I feel, and I can admit it to myself, without saying it out loud. I didn't mean to ramble lol, I always do about this subject. Maybe cuz I like talking bout it now I'm 'better' so others can see there is a light at the end of the tunnel, or to educate others. That and it's a soft spot for me...along with bullying, I can rant about that anytime, but I'll save ya'll from it.

I'm sorry about your migraine :( feel better soon!! And that part with the bird, that was nice of you to share :)

I'm glad I haven't either. Everyone handles their attacks differently, one person told me when she has one, she starts walking/talking super fast and she can't find her way home or anything cuz shes just going in superspeed on everything. But it does suck alil on my end cuz on mine, I go blank, so I can't use my little calm codes (a movement that I got stuck in my head thats with a happy thought, if i do the movement, I think of the happy thought) or do my breathing exercises like I do in just an anxiety attack. But I am lucky in the fact I've learned to live with it in just 5 years. I just have bad days. As for my cousin, I feel she'll prob be like me if she does get that bad, since she's like me on almost everything else...except eating. I love it, she hates it. Unless its korean food...she loves that stuff...I swear i didn't make her love it.

So my trip to my friend offically starts Sunday. I'm so excited that I can hardly sleep xD

Just a quick heads up to everyone who wanted a bg. the first copy got denied and it has been fixed and resubmitted. Just waiting now to see if it gets approved. Fingers crossed.. :D

We feed the birds and love them, so I enjoyed the bird game. Glad you got to see the kinglet once. I'm so sorry you have that mean old migraine still trying to hang on. I pray it has left you completely by now.

Thanks for sneaking by . 😄

Only three more sleeps before you and your friend go on your trip Clockworthy! Have a wonderful, relaxing time!

Thank you for keeping us up with what is happening with the bg. It's sure to be accepted the second time. Can't wait to be able to use it!

haha lol! Just got home from the doc. Toe is healing very slow, but looks better then tuesday.

Enjoy your trip!

Happy firday all!

congratulations on your job! That is wonderful news for you and your family. So happy you enjoy it as well. :)

, glad to hear that your toe is getting better. Even slowly, healing is a good thing!

I'm sorry to hear of your friend's health failing. hugs It's wonderful she has a friend like you to continue with her even though she may not seem to know you are. You are such a beautiful soul.

I hope that migraine has disappeared!

Have a safe and wonderful trip!

Happy Belated Birthdays and Anniversaries to all I have missed! I hope your days were extra special and you were well celebrated and loved. :)

I'm a bit foggy, my back went out and am on some pretty strong meds for it. For that reason, I've been on but not very chatty. I don't think I make much sense when I take that stuff. So my many apologies if I have mixed up some responses here.

I hope you all are having a lovely weekend. :)

Thank you dear. I'm so sorry to hear your back went out and you need to be on those strong meds. They are a blessing if necessary though. I pray your back will heal up quickly Heather.

We're having 100 degree weather. Hopefully it won't last too long. I can't go outside without getting an itchy rash. It's a shame to stay in the house on such beautiful days. Hope you're all enjoying the summer. It never lasts long enough for me.

I itch too if I get too sweaty. The seabreeze is going to feel sooo good...one more sleep xD. And I agree with you, I love summer. I hope you can enjoy more beautiful days soon! You can bet I'll have a fun and relaxing trip, I'll take plenty of photos for you guys~

I'm glad your toe is getting better, even though it's slow. And Thank you, I will enjoy :) What eye makeup are you wearing on your HA? I remember them but not the name xD

I will thank you! I'm sorry though that your back went out and your having to be on those heavy meds. I hope everything feels better soon!

Don't listen to the voices in the back of your head, you got this! As for the men, If Chris gets too worried, just have an honest convo with him. I'm sure he'll appreciate the honesty and reassuring talk :)

Btw Last minute, decided to go with me and my friend, so she won't be on durning the week, but I'll check in on my phone here and there :)
