Topic: Broken Foot...Major Owie!!!
Right now, I am physically miserable and emotionally depressed.
My foot is broken, and I do not get to see the orthopedist till Thursday. I am in a world of pain right now. It was first diagnosed as tendonitis by a quack *****ad my X-rays on April 13. My new orthopedist looked at the same X-rays and showed me on 3 different films the fracture. He decided to order an MRI for it before deciding what to do. From the research on it, the two options look like either a cast, or surgery. The cast will mean major lifestyle changes for a while. The surgery will mean missing work, again.
Add to that, I have not worked my second job since October due to health issues. I am so broke, it is not funny.
Hugs,
Trish

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

Topic: RE: Anxiety!
The rapid weight loss could definitely be messing with your cycle...
It would be good to keep a journal and date it...you could see if there is a relationship between your hormone levels and your anxiety that way.
As for triggering thoughts, you probably would not be able to identify any at this point. By journaling your thoughts in general, as well as your feelings about stuff that is happening in your days won't make sense at first, but then, you could look back and see if you see a pattern or any rhyme or reason for the anxiety.
Who prescribes your Klonopin? If it is a family doc, you may want to see a psychiatrist, and also seek psychotherapy to work on this issue.
Good luck,
Trish

What is weird about these is when it is going to happen I wake up that way,it is not caused but whatever happens that day generally anyway. Usually I can not even tell you why I feel the way I do, there is nothing i can point at and say "that is what is bothering me" If I could figure it out it would help because I am pretty good I talking myself into a postive outlook. The only thig going on is that I am late for my period. My DH has had a Vacetomy so i doubt it is pregnancy. I am going to wait a little longer to teat. Today is 34 days from my last cycle full start (it is 39 days from when I started spotting last month. usually i spot for several days before I start and this month NADA! I am hopeing it is just my rapid weight loss messing with my hormones.

Have you tried deep breathing exercises. I sometimes get terrible panic attacks. It is usually my weird thoughts about my life, like projecting and believing something bad is going to happen.
Have you tried psychotherapy? That is where you can explore your thinking.
The other thing is to keep a journal of your day's events and your thoughts and feelings about them. It can help you get out things that may be triggering you, as well as help you track your thinking when you do get an attack.
Good luck.

Topic: ~SPIRITUAL NOT RELIGIOUS~ A DAY AT A TIME
05/04 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
Many people pray as though to overcome the will of a reluctant God, instead of taking hold of the willingness of a loving God. In the late stages of our addiction, the will to resist has fled. Yet when we admit complete defeat, and when we become entirely ready to try the principles of The Program, our obsession leaves us and we enter a new dimension -- freedom under God as we understand Him. IS MY GROWTH IN THE PROGRAM CONVINCING ME THAT GOD ALONE CAN REMOVE OBSESSIONS?
TODAY I PRAY
May I pray not as a complaining child to a stern father, as though "praying" must always mean "pleading," usually in moments of helpless desperation. May I pray, instead, for my own willingness to reach out to Him, since He is ready at all times to reach out to me. May I regard my Higher Power as a willing God.
TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
God is willing.

Topic: RE: Meds make me very sick
I am not sure what meds you are taking but you might want to see if the meds come in a different form such as liquid, pills vs capsules etc.

I am not sure what causes this but every so often i have problems with anxiety. Normally it is only one day and i take my meds and it is gone for a while. This is the 3 day in the past 4 that I have felt this way and it is driving me c razy. I have this knot in the pit of my stomach and I took my Klonapin and it is not going away!!! of course I am past time to refill my meds so i only had one to take and can not take a second one. Why does this come an dgo. i am glad it is not constant but when it happens i fell like something bad is going to happen even though mentally i know that nothing is going on. It is more of a physical feeling. sorry for the dump but I just have to get it out. it is really hard to explain but I hope someone here can relate.
