Hi All-
I'm excited because I got passed my procrastination and started the first session. I listened to it and did my "homework" - or started it - I still have more to work on.
I even did one session of the relaxation cd. I know that I will have more to get used to, but this is a good start. I'm writing in my journal, going for walks, starting to cut down my caffeine, and trying to be on top of things.
I'm going to stay at my moms to take care of her cat for a week. I was supposed to go with her to Seattle to see my sister who just moved up there and the other sister who is getting ready to leave for Europe and then Peace Corp, but my anxiety got the best of me and now I can't get myself to go.
I realize that this will all be baby steps, but I'm so excited that I went forward with it. I realized how much I've missed in my life and how many issues I have (not being able to work and ruining my marriage). But, I also realized my daughter has many of the same problems I do and I'm excited I will be able to help her so she doesn't have to grow up like I did.
I hope everyone is doing well. I will check in regularly. Thanks to everyone for their support. It has been great and well appreciated.

I did it - I made it!!!
congrats, and keep it up!!
