MY STORY

I HAVE HAD 3 BRAIN SURGERIES THE IST GAVE ME A HEADACHE FOR 6 MONTHS, THE 2ND I LOST USE OF MY RIGHT SIDE, 3RD LEFT ME WITH NO BALANCE AND I AM IN A WHEEL CHAIR. I WAS A P. E. TEACHER AND CROSS COUNTRY AND TRACK COACH. I HAVE OTHER PROBLEMS FROM THE SURGERY LIKE MY SPEECH WAS AFFECTED, I HAVE TROUBLE SWALLOWING,AND I CAN NOT WRITE. I AM NOT LOOKING FOR SYPATHY BUT DUE TO MY NOW BEING IN A WHEEL CHAIR I STARTED HAVING PANIC ATTACKS BECAUSE WHEN I AM NOT AT HOME WHERE I HAVE AN ELECTRIC WHEEL CHAIR AND CAN GO WHERE AND WHEN I WANT I HAVE A WHEEL CHAIR THAT OTHERS PUSH SO I AM DEPENDENT ON OTHERS. I HAVE ATTACKS WHILE WAITING ON OTHERS. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE I CAN'T BE UNDERSTOOD DUE TO MY SPEECH SO IT IS FRUSTATING. WHEN I FELT ANXIETY IN SOMEONE'S HOUSE AT A BIBLE STUDY MONDAY 12-8-08 THAT WAS THE LAST STRAW. I VOWED I WOULD GET HELP. GOD REMINDED ME OF A TECHNIQUE I LEARNED MANY YEARS AGO. I THOUGHT ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE OR DISTRACTING. I TRIED THIS IN THE SHOWER AND AFTER 3 DAYS I HAVE NO MORE ANXIETY IN THE SHOWER. PRAISE GOD! NOW I HAVE TO PRACTICE IT OTHER PLACES AND LISTEN TO THE REST OF THE CD'S. I FINISHED 2. I JUST GOT THEM LAST NIGHT SO I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED. DEB

Thank you for sharing your story with us. McGrace is right about not rushing through this. There is a lot of really good information here in the program and you don't want to miss any by rushing through it too fast.
