"Worry is a thin stream of fear trickling through the mind. If encouraged, it cuts a channel into which all other thoughts are drained.”
Until recently, I never realized how much my anxiety has taken over my life but it has found the depths of my mind and is effecting my body. Over the past few days, I was having 3-4 anxiety (panic) attacks a day which includes waking up in the middle of the night with one. The nighttime episodes are the scariest because I can feel it but it is hard to snap out of the dream state and start breathing again.
I know that the attacks are caused by some overwhelming stress in my life that I am in desperate need of controlling. Just this week alone, my job has become worse and I just want to quit and start somewhere new. Alas, I cannot quit without having another job lined up or having my biz take off and I can just work from home which sucks! Then you all know what has been going on with my boyfriend situation which I am happy to say we are attempting to work things out and he is feeling much better! Lastly, having a sick toddler is never easy but just adds some pressure when you are a single mom who just wants a bit of sleep and can't just drop and sleep when I feel like it....
So when I talked to the doctor the other day, he agreed that I need something to help with the attacks because they are not healthy for my mind or body. So he prescribed me a medication to take which after 2 days is seeming to start to help. I slept over KB (kinda boyfriend)'s house last night and actually slept through the night without a single attack and haven't had a single one today!
So to keep with my positive thinking... Everyday is a challenge and sometimes these days can be grouped together but I can make it through any problems that are thrown my way with a smile on my face and love in my heart!
