Hello all,
Just thought I would write a quicky to say hello to everyone and let you know about my most recent personal little victory.

I have just come back from a fortnight in Majorca,and although I was really looking forward to it,I did have the usual worries reagarding travelling.....specifically flying!!Also a 1 .5 hour taxi ride the other end.However.I was absolutly fine!!Totally suprised myself actually.I think it was a combination of positive thinking and a 'so what if I do panic' mentality that did the trick.I decided that I might be anxious/panic a bit....but that it wouldnt kill me and I could just as easily panic at home!I packed myself a little emergency kit for the plane....rescue remedy,lavender etc...carried around in my bag for the whole holiday and didnt need it once!!!Thats not to say that I didnt have the odd wobble while we were there though.But I just rode the wave,so to speak and distracted myself with something nice,and it passed.

Was dreading coming home too(Im usually worse on the way back).But again I was ok,despite a lot of standing around queing in a busy Palma airport.....my worse nightmare!!

Anyway.Thats it really.Bring on the honeymoon and 8 hour flight in December......aaargh!!!! xx

We are going to America and then Canada.We will probably be absolutly frozen,but I guess on our honeymoon we will find some way of keeping warm!!(he he).x

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

Thanks everyone.Meg.Im hoping to go back to college next Spring.In the meantime though Im enjoying bank nursing.....suits me to pick my own hours and have not much responsibility at the moment.Also looking into a night school course(aromatherapy),so plenty to keep me occupied.xx

Hi Juliet

I have just caught up with your post, i am really pleased you had a good holiday.

Sounds like you have lots planned and that it great. My friend who suffered from depression and anxiety has just gone back to work and she is doing bank nursing, and she feels less pressure as she isnt tied to a set shift pattern and if they ring her and offer her a shift and she isnt feeling too great she isnt compelled to do it.



Love Sal xx


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