Hey Shell!
I don't know about everyone else, but I'm still around. ;) I've noticed that there aren't very many posts anymore. I look in every couple days. I don't respond to a lot of messages anymore - I apologize to everyone. I haven't had a whole lot of time to do so anymore. I have two computers and both are always occupied by either my husband or one of my boys. :confuse: Crimeny!
I've been doing fairly well the last few months after working on the CBT. It's really been a life saver for me! I still have bad days, but not as many and not as horrendous. Every now and again I will have a whopper that will send me reeling, but rather than completely getting lost in the panic like I would have before the CBT, I'm able to at least get it under control or at a manageable level before I go under. Sometimes it's harder to do that, but all I can do is keep working on it. I hope and pray that everyone here is able to do the same - if not beat it completely! I'm having a hard time this week because I have the flu. The dizziness from the flu keeps making me panicky. Especially when I'm at work. But, all I can do is take it one at a time, deal with it, let it go and move on. I have hope because I keep telling myself that even though I've been panicky this week, it will settle down and be good again. It's just a matter of time.
I hope all of you keep the idea that there will be better times because I promise there is! Just keep hanging in there and work on the CBT. Remember - when it gets unbearable, remind yourself that right now, at this moment, everything is ok. Don't think about what will happen in a week, a day, an hour, ten minutes from now.... right now, everything is ok. One moment at a time is the key!
