I thought about you this weekend!! My goodness I’m so proud of you for making it through. SO glad you have a great support system around you.
And, actually, I had a dream that you had a little boy and anounced you were pregnant with twin girls. And I have prophetic dreams so that is totally happening.
this comment just made the longest day of the year a happier one! i would ask for nothing more if i had a little boy followed by twin girls.
Little boy, followed by twin girls? I can’t wait…to visit for a short period of time and drop Ava off because you won’t even notice
I figured you had a rough weekend, but I think you handled yourself amazingly!
You are quite the warrior! Panic attacks? You suffer from these?? I have experienced Panic Attacks since I was 8. Bless you for getting through the weekend without a drink. I understand. I went to NOLA for the first time (sober.) Was the oddest thing. I literally craved walking down Bourbon. For me – out of sight, out of mind. It was hell.
Hang in there!
Thank you sissy! I thought I could have been a bit more social…but regardless of the current situation, there is always room for improvement in that department.
Nicole – a warrior? I love it. Everyone’s comments have made me feel like quite the warrior. I have now had 3 panic attacks and one mini attack. They started in Sept of last year.
panic attacks are so fun aren’t they?
they have taught me what happens when you hyperventilate
apparently your hands and feet go numb, it’s the awesomest feeling ever and doesn’t at all cause you to think that you are having a stroke or getting mysteriously paralyzed, and doesn’t require a hospital visit at all!!

p.s. all the more power to you for not having a drink after one of those
Go to Vitamin Shoppe and buy GABA Aminobutyric Acid 750mg tablets. When you have anxiety/ panic/ extreme stress, your brain is not making enough GABA. fight or flight depletes it.
