Hi prettygreeneyes I'm so pleased your meds seem to be working for you. A barge sounds so cool I've got a fear of water too but mines I panic I'm going to drop things in like my keys, phone, purse ect a bit weird I no lol. But well done you that's fab and carverys are delicious you can't beat one on a Sunday. Enjoy the rest of your night :-)
Thank you....they help me sleep as wellit's a bit windy today and it was a bit wobbly on there but I managed it and I managed a cup of tea as well! It was surprisingly cosy once I'd got over my irrational fear!!
I'm just about to pick my children up from their nanas ready for bath and bed and a super chill out night tonight for me
Thanks yeah there's supposed to be a storm coming tonight which I'm freaking over a little lol (there's always something though lol). I'm just looking forward to a full week without school runs lol. Simple things :-)
Hi Hannah and prettygreeneyes! Happy 12th Anniversary to you and your hubby, Hannah!!! How lovely to wake up to a beautiful bunch of flowers!! And glad you're looking forward to your meal out with all the parents from your son's footie team!
Really glad your new medication is helping you, prettygreeneyes. I am actually thinking about asking my psychiatrist about Remeron (mirtazapine) since it's something I haven't tried and I need to switch to something more effective. Let us know how you are doing on it!
My positive today is that we are away with my Mum in the mountains. We have a house quite high up in a big mountain range and about 5 years ago - when my anxiety became really bad again - it started to get harder and harder for me to come here. The house is a long way from home (5 hour drive) and it's very remote (though we do have a (slow!) internet connection thankfully!!!). Anyhow, the nearest vet is at least 1.5 hour's drive away and I REALLY worry about something happening to our dogs and not being able to get veterinary care. The nearest hospital is also a long way away and that worries me too. So anyhow, it's become very difficult for me to come to this house now because my anxiety and panic tend to go through the roof and I've had some very nasty panic attacks here - not to mention actual emergencies with the dogs involving driving for miles in the middle of the night to the closest vet.
But my hubby loves coming up here and my Mum enjoys it too. So anyhow, even though I really didn't want to come, I'm here now and although my anxiety is higher, I'm doing ok. We're going home again tomorrow so it's only 2 nights. It feels good to be pushing myself to do something that makes other people happy (hubby and my Mum).

I'm so pleased your there and I'm sure you will have an amazing time and everything will be perfect. And perhaps when this trip goes as well as it will, it will be better when you have future trips there. It sounds amazing I bet the scenery is beautiful :-)
I hope you get a med that works for you soon and at least you have an idea of what you want to try now.
Thanks for the well wishes its been lovely today I've felt well and truly loved and I'm now going to bed a happy bunny lol.
I hope you enjoy the rest of your time there and I'm pleased your mum and hubby are having a nice time too. I'm sure seeing them happy there will bring you pleasure too. :-)
Thank you so much, Hannah! It is definitely nice to see my hubby and my Mum happy. It is a really beautiful spot. I wish I could feel happier about being here, but at least I am here!!!!Originally Posted by petrified

Well I guess we survived the storm we were supposed to have although near me it hasn't been bad at all!! My positive today Is taking kids to their friends house where they played and had dinner whilst us mums have a chat......it was nice because this mum is from the new school since we moved villages so she knows nothing about my past or what I've been through so she doesn't tip toe around me
Back home now to the smell of stew cooking slowly all day! One of my favourite things about colder darker nights is comfort food!!
Hope everyone has had a lovely day
Glad you did not get hit by a storm and that you had a nice evening, prettygreeneyes!
My positive today is that I got through a couple of days in the mountains ok and I didn't have any major panic attacks and, despite some heightened anxiety, things went ok. We are heading home today (Yay!!!!) It's a long drive and it started snowing here last night so I'm keen to get going. Really wish I could enjoy things more instead of always worrying, but I'm glad I pushed myself to come up here and didn't just stay home. Also, my hubby, my Mum and the doggies had a wonderful time, which was nice to see!
Sending positive vibes to all!

I have been busy cleaning, selling stuff, and down sizing for a move, quite some time away. I have also been trying to learn poetry in that time and today following exercises in a book I purchased ... wrote what looks like my first Iambic Peom. Going to make that post now.
I made my kids a yummy healthy lunch!
