About Me

My photo
I had my first panic attack in 1999. It was quite possibly the scariest moment of my life. It came out of nowhere and I had no idea what was happening to me. I was sitting in traffic and suddenly I started to feel overwhelmed. I couldn't breathe and my heart started racing. I could have just left my car in the intersection and run away. But run away to where, and from what? I was in no danger, but somehow, I was scared to death! I went to doctors, read books, had many therapy sessions and as a result have for the most part been successful at leading a full life. I have a great husband and a beautiful daughter. Overall, life is good :) Does this mean that I am cured? First of all, there is nothing to be cured from. Controlling anxiety is all about changing the way you think. This is why I wanted to start this blog. I'm not a doctor or therapist. I'm just someone who sometimes suffers from anxiety and would like to share my tips for coping and possibly help others who also suffer from anxiety. So if you are one of those people please feel free to comment, offer tips, and share your success stories! Let's bring calm and peace back to our lives :)

Spirituality

I do not attend church every Sunday, however, I do pray to God every single morning while in the shower.  This may not be the most conventional place to pray, but it works for me.  I'm just waking up and thinking of the day ahead.  Some mornings I already feel good and other days I am in need of inspiration.  Some days I am calm and some days I am troubled with some worry.  But I always, without fail, feel better after my little talk with God.   A friend of mine suggested a few Bible versus for this blog.  I haven't read them yet, but I do intend to.  Perhaps they will be in a future post.  So today, right now, I pray that you are having a calm, relaxing day.  And if not (like me because work is crazy hectic) that you are keeping things in perspective and taking deep breaths to keep calm (like I am).
