Sugarmama: I agree with you. It is ok to say no sometimes. I am a yes,yes person and therfore I get put on the backburner. If I don't want to do something, thanks to the CD's and this program I am now strong enough to not do something I truly don't want to do. Congrats to everyone for there accomplishments.

I am proud that today I accompanied my wife to the mall for some shopping and did not panic. I felt uncomfortable at times, but talked my way through it.

Today my husband's grandmother died. He had barely made it in the driveway when I got the call, so I ran to tell him to keep going to his mom's house and drive her to town to the hospital. It was one of those things where she's been in bad shape, but they weren't expecting it, so they are all taking it hard. My sis in law wanted to go to town too, so I kept her kids which I've never down alone and only twice before with my husband b/c the youngest screams for his momma the whole time. Only his grandmother can keep him. Then, I'm doing ok here, trying not to succumb to anxiety and panic b/c I'm alone here and nervous.
My husband calls. They can't reach the other sister who is at their church having a 5th Sunday event. So I load up the kids (with only one car seat) and head the 10 miles over - with the youngest getting out of the seat belt and standing on the seat. I open the church door with these 3 kids in tow during what I found out was closing prayer. I scanned the crowd for sis in law and one by one people raised their heads and looked back at me. The preacher just stared. And then I had to tell her.
On the way home the 5 year old nephew kept asaking why everyone was saying that Granny had died, so I have to come up with something on his level to say.
But I made it and I don't mean for this day to sound like it's about me, because it is the day God called her home. But I didn't let them down. I did it and I don't necessarily feel good inside. I feel relief that I stood for a little bit on my own two feet. If I could just continue to pull my weight and not be so needy.
Thank you God for not letting me fail today. Amen.

I am proud of myself today for going to have my first massage, it was invigorating. I cannot believe I feel this relaxed. I have been putting it off for years for fear I would have a panic attack, I feel myself getting so much better. I am so thankful to the Lord Jesus, this program and this forum

I am proud of myself for making it to work everyday for the past two weeks. It doesnt sound hard, but its a struggle for me to get to work everyday and I call out too often.
