I'm so excited I could just BURST!!!!
As some of you know I've gone back to school and hope to get my nursing certificate.
I work really hard at it but am still dealing with some issues with anxiety and once in a blue moon a panic attack comes on!!
I get the foggy can't think straight nastiness alot so studying has been an adventure!!
Plus the fact that I am a recovering agoraphobic.
By that I mean I'm not stuck in the house anymore but still would rather stay in cuz it's just far less stressful so going to the college and sitting in a close quarters classroom with a bunch of fresh faced 19 year olds who have ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE is a struggle too!
ANYWAY...
I have this anatomy and physiology class that has just been kicking my butt!!!
Last nite I had a HUGE test and just knew that I didn't do so well because half way through I got the foggy feeling and didn't feel like I was understanding anything.
I looked at my grade today and I GOT A 86.1 which is a B !!!!
I'M SO PROUD OF MYSELF!!!
Just had to post it because it wasn't too long ago that I couldn't go anywhere!! My world was getting smaller and smaller! I had panic attacks every day!
AND TODAY...
I am going to college! I'm driving again!! And I can go just about anywhere - except movie theaters!!!! - and not feel like I have to run home because of anxiety!!
There is a light at the end of the tunnel you all!!
It may not seem like it now because the symptoms from anxiety are so horrid that it can put a big gray cloud over your head all the time! But it CAN get better!!!!!!
Stay strong and believe in yourself!
(((((((HUGS))))))) to everyone who has helped me along the way to this point!!! I couldn't have done it without you all and this site!!
What a God send you all are to me!!!!
