Stress Center Peer Support

Thanks Boon and NHGIRL for your thoughts. I have just been browsing and reading through the different threads. It is raining here, so I am not able to get out and take a walk unfortunately. I can say, my body is definitely "worn out" from the excessive anxiety and panic over the past few days...today was just exceptionally bad.

Tomorrow, I have to be off the the office and, it seems anymore this is a predicator to my anxiety and panic. I am fearing agoraphobia trying to set in...

I just wish the program would arrive so that I can get started, LOL...

My chest still hurts... but, then again I keep catching myself very tense, so I am sure it is muscular. And, I just read in another thread that if your chest hurts when you press on it, it is probably muscular! Even though I know this, as I am a healthcare provider, as we know, we don't always pay attention to what we "know"!

Anyway, thanks again for your thoughts... am just trying to find distractions!

Good Morning,All~

I just wanted to thank everyone who replied to this post yesterday. Man oh man, that was a rough day. I DID end up getting out of the house; went to the library to drop off some books and tapes that were due and actually spent a few minutes picking out some new ones to check out. Yeah, I had the ohmygosh feeling fo the adrenaline coursing through me when a "what if" popped into my head relating to the IBS/diarrhea, but breathed through it, told myself there was a bathroom right there and before I knew it, I was in my car and backing out of the driveway and on my way home again.
So..yay me for getting out at ALL yesterday!

Last night was a bit rough and I so wanted to log on and google up some humor but couldn't because my roomie had her puter tied up, but I obviously lived through that as well.

No exercise yesterday~ for the first time in a long time, I felt completely obliterated/exhausted; no doubt from the pummeling of panic throughout the day, so I gave myself the day off of exercise but now, I am on my way to the showers and, hopefully (cross your fingers), my bf will go with me to the gym so I can get in 20-30 minutes on the recumbent bike.

Thanks again Boon, Robin, Emily and everyone who helped me with the kind thoughts, the reminders and the like. You are all rockstars.

Gentle Blessings!
