Hi I just found you

[Iamme]

Hi - I was searching around looking for others like me! I'm an artist and try to keep fairly busy and distracted from my panic -y and anxious feelings. I'm not taking anything, just wish I could relax more and not feel so uptight! Arrgh! I'm tired of feeling this way..I am going to order a book though that I think will help..:)

Hi :welcome:

[Iamme]

Thanks Serenite, Sparkle and Anne!

I feel so welcome!
Oh, the books I ordered were From Panic to Power, What to say when you talk to yourself and The Anxiety Expert-A psychs story.

I let my son borrow my "mental health bible" a book called "You Can Feel Good Again" so I needed something to get me through the bad days! This book made me feel so strong and empowered that I did something I never thought I'd ever do in my wildest dreams - parasail! I have read it over and over it is such a comfort and so full of wisdom!

Sparkle your list is amazing, I will have to print it out! Thanks for sharing! I also find that listening to music when I feel wound up before sleeping is a big help. Valerian does help me at times too...
