Today I got up and I feel a bit odd. I am telling myself over and over it isjust anxiety.

I have made a choice to continue with my plans for the day. My plans are to go christmas shopping at a large mall with my family.

With this trip we will have to be in the car for over an hour. Whew. Big steps but I am choosing not to allow this anxiety to run my life anymore.

I even said if it is something serious I still have to live.

If I am going to have an attack well guess what I will have to have the attack having a goodtime with my family. No more making excises as to why i cannot go.

The symptoms today are I feel my hands being heavy. I have had 2 brain scans in the passed 5 years. So I know my brain is fine. It has to be anxiety.

Has anyone else had feelins that just cannot discribe very well.

The only way to discribe this is that when I look at something then look away It will appear closer or further away the next time. I have also had my eyes checked.

My blood pressue is fine sugar 110 so It has to be anxiety.

Oh well going out with my family.Be back later tonight.

Please pray that I can do this:) I will share how everything went when I get back.

You know I don't know how to start a new discusion so I thought I'd start here.
My thought is on An Early Christmas Presents. Two to be exact. The other day I went and saw my Eye doctor to see why my eyes have gotten worst when I wear my glasses. And after the examination he informs me that my eyes have not gotten worst but actually have strenghten since he gave me my last eye test. Now this doesn't happen ever according to him but he tells me that the reason that I have to take them off to read is because they're, the lenses are too strong for my eyes. So he has prescripted a weaker pair. That was the first Early X-Mas gift.

The second one is this. I had Walking Pneumonia some 5 years ago and I cleared it up with Meds but the incident left some kind of spot on one of my lungs. Well after being examined and X-rayed for this to see if it would become a problem later on in my life. The doctor has confirmed with the last X-rays that the spot is
GONE!

Again I chalk this all up to nothing less than a Christmas Miracle. And ever since I finished with the the program program my health as far as my entire life has just gotten better. And I just don't HATE MY FATHER ANYMORE 'cause he never got to know the fine son he brought into this world. 'Cause he was always trying to grab the Brass Ring on the Merry Go Around of Life when all along he had it in his possession when he brought all my brothers and sisters as well into his life.

Hey Slim !

Now THAT'S a motivational story ! Sounds like a Christmas Miracle to me !

I'm glad that you don't hate your father anymore. Life is way too short to be hate filled.

Congratulations !!!!!!!!!

Slimjim,

Sounds like you are making really good progress. Good for you and keep up the good work!! You are definitely on the right track. Good insight into your father--lots of men act like that(our culture encourages it), so you are right, you only hurt yourself when you hate him. He just never knew any better. But the great thing is, that you are learning all these new skills that will be with you for the rest of your life.

Wow! Thanx soooo much for your kind words and for this forum to just speak my mind. You guys and gals are the best. GOD Bless us one and all.
