Have everything!

Hi everyone. Reading alot of these posts I see so much of myself in so many things. Then, I get overwhelmed on all that I need to work on. That is typical for me. When I have lots to do,no matter what it is, I feel like going in to hiding and not doing any of it. Its exhausting trying to learn new life skills with this program, raise a family, be a wife, work my job and remember to relax!LOL Anyone relate?

Yes, I relate to this & also to your "blindsided" comment as I started the program in Dec 07 and have had less & less attacks, but then I'm in "hiding" much of the time to avoid them, so when I had one the other day it totally threw me. Anyway, back to this post; I really do know what you mean because I got so bad for so long I barely even cleaned. If I could do the laundry once a week (sometimes took me 3 days) and make supper 5 times a week that was ALL I could do for a long time. Then I started the program & now I clean but still not "every week" but just a lot more than I was & you know, that helped me feel like I was finally "getting somewhere." I take the program really slow. I just have to. I have yet to go to a dentist again or to fly on a plane again. (and I have 2 broken teeth!) I figure if I keep plugging away though as I can, with baby steps & prayer, I will get better. My dear husband says he does see improvements and I've been on program for about 5 months and have just started Session 8. Best to you! Just baby step it, or as the saying goes "How do you eat an elephant?! One bite at a time!"

Hi Sybil, I've also have been taking my time on the program. I started in Feb. and now I am just getting ready for session 7! Oh well, I will absorb as much as I can without stressing. That's the whole idea,I'm sure! HA! Yes I used to be such a clean freak(the perfectionest coming out)but with two children I did have to relax on that some what. I leave things longer then I should now. The mess will bug me but feel no energy to deal with it.
