i had a cup of tea today!

[henri]

hi everyone,
i know it sounds ridiculous, but this morning i had a cup of tea while sitting at my desk at work - my first cuppa of 2005 - and it made me so happy! my CBT bloke told me to cut out caffeine and alcohol - two of my favourite things in the whole world ever - and to be honest i haven't felt like either of them since my panic attacks started. i guess today was a sign that i have made progress and am slowly able to do things that are part of my 'normal' life, like go to work and have a cup of tea.
i have been feeling so much better in the last couple of weeks - i still have my blips, of course, but nothing nearly as bad as what i was experiencing three or four months ago. i think this site has been a huge emotional crutch and for that i am truly grateful.
anyway, i just wanted to share that with you all!

Hi Henri

Well done you, you achieved something that other people take for granted and dont realise how hard it is.

You sound to be doing great mate and i hope it carries on for you.

Love Sal xx


Dont mess up the best things in your life, just because at present you are unsure who you are.

Well done Henri!! It must mean you're on the road to recovery (I still drink decaff).. :D

Great news henri, just watch the amount of caffeine you take in as it is a stimulant, but you probably are well aware of that anyway. I also drink decaf and can't taste any difference personally.

Regards,

Blue

You're doing well Henri. Well done.

It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.

Well done Henri,

I to like my tea but have gone on to drink the herbal teas. I do think that I am alot better whilst drinking them, but, I do have to confess that I do go back to ordinary tea.

Keep doing what you are doing cause it looks like it helps.



with good wishes
