Baby step or HUGE LEAP?

[Wildcard]

I think it really depends on how you see things! Yesterday I could just feel an attack coming I knew for a fact is was going hit me hard. So hard that I was going to have a med ready just in case. Well, I never got the med ready! It scared the crap out of me I almost thought I was going to cry because of how scared I was. But you know what? I never took that med and I worked my way thru the attack. It hit me like a ton of bricks about 6:30 last night. I was trembling and sweating and scared as hell, but thanks to this program I put the bullet between my teeth, so to speak, and "floated" my way thru! I tried to think of it as "excitement". What was so exciting about that? Not being female I'm not sure about this but, I had the idea that giving birth had to be easier than that was. Ladies, I dont mean to insult any of you so please dont take it that way. However, if giving birth is harder than that you ladies have all my respect!!!

It is kind of wierd, I feel like it was a huge step for me but yet I still feel like I havent totally shaken the attack. Any ideas why that is? I feel like i should be jumping up and down doing a little boogie. So why do I feel kind of down? Is it because I am losing an old "friend"? I took a huge leap last night and I feel down?!?!?!?! THAT MAKES NO SENSE TO ME!

I think once these stress chemicals get us all amped up and then they subside, we can be left feeling kind of down. Just my theory--no scientific proof behind it. But I have experienced just about the same thing you are describing Wildcard.

BTW, You did very well last night--you should be congratulating yourself!!
