Hey Guys,
Had a fantastic day today, hubby 2 Be is a teacher so was home all day, Daughter was off nursery and my mum. The only time i felt uncomfortable was just after i'd eaten. i often get this, i go a bit cold which makes me shiver, which makes me tense, which makes me shake, which makes me twitch etc. . . . . . .But it didn't ruin my day. This is one of the ways that i feel i've made progress. When anxiety first came to me i would literally sit and wait for it to go away. Sometimes i would even go to bed and just lie there waiing for it to go. i never realised that it only went away when i had to get up and do something. Also, i would always imediatley stop what i was doing and if i was at home, tell H2B exactly what i was feeling and then we would both sit there and wait for it to go! Nowadays i mostly don't even tell him if i get a 'wave' its not that i don't ta;k about it at all, i do if i'm REALLY suffering but if its some thing relatively minor i find that if i don't mention it, i forget all about it and when i look back on the day i often don't remember that i've felt bad. Of course i get days when thats not what happens at all, xmas day being a prime example, i couldn't eat, talk or do anything and nothing was going to stop that but i find day to day these days i know how to cope. i don't know if hats just learning to live with it rather than dealing with it though. i'm going for another round of CBT soon. Not because i feel worsr just that i feel i need a 'top up'
i hope everyone has enjoyed the snow today, i did have one dodgy moment when i looked down at the snow and it went all wiggly and weird but then i remembered that its basically the same as staring at the sun.
