JSM's BEGGING FOR BAN THREAD # 7

[trimmonthelake]

Good Morning will be leaving soon for the airport, had another incident happen yesterday, my son in law ruined their car in an accident, nobody hurt, but here is the kicker, we did not know that he didn't have his own insurance, he just assumed because we cover my daugher he was on it too. My husband is very upset, so after we get home from the airport this now will be dealt with. I'm xanaxed up and ready to go 

  Oh No!! I am going to get xanaxed up with you. 

I got up and have a sore throat.....I need a hot toddie.   

A little Irish Coffee may do the trick.

Good Morning Monkeys! 

BLUEMONKEY, thank you for your sweet, kind words. Come visit with us more. 

TRIMM, Thanks as usual for the wakeup music. 

JSM, sorry I didn't wait up for you last night. I know you were tired. 

Fanny, no problem. I didn't get home til 9:30 last night. Then woke up and Josef had a little belly problem and left me a suprise this morning that I had to clean up before I left. Yes my day is starting out wonderfully.

Yikes that is no way to start off your day JSM sorry to hear that.  I wonder if the flu for dogs is going around?  Our Jack Russell hopped up in bed last night and threw up - so off came the bedding and in the washer at 10:30 last night.  Love changing sheets at that time of the night.  I hope Josef feels better as the day goes on. 

Sorry about washing bedding at 10:30 at night. That isn't fun at all. I should have known something was up when he wasn't on the bed this morning. He was hiding. Luckily I saw it in the corner of my eye or it would have been there all day.  I think they fed him last night before I picked him up and the food they gave him isn't his normal food because they have a new girl in the back.

Good morning all! how is everyone this morning??

Hi Fanny. When we were speaking of anxiety disorders and I was speaking of my Mum, I wanted to tell you that she did get better. I think it was always with her but after she hadn't had one of these attacks ( due to the meds ) for months and then years the fear of having them return wasn't as great.
..
I spoke to my doctor at the time and she went to see him. It was the beginning of her recovery. Talking about it was good for her too as she had kept it a big secret and felt alot of shame about it, as if it was her fault or she did something wrong in her life. My poor Mum really suffered. I have had some periods in my life when I go thru the anxiety attack thing, so I knew how she suffered.

Later in her life, I found a painting class for her to go to. I knew she had artistic abilities as she did the most beautiful pettipoint. She shone and the teacher told me that my Mum should have shown up sooner as she had a real talent. I showed some of her work to my arty friends ( who had art degrees and who did exhibits ) and they agreed.
..
She lived for those classes and she would spend alot of time at home getting lost in her art work. She also liked the social aspects of being in a class. I would take her to any art shows that I thought might interest.
..
I have one that I just loved and my daughter got it framed for me one Christmas, Yikes, it was 350.00 to get it done.  I also had some of her pettipoint reframed. Another Yikes, but I had a historical conservation thing done too.
Sorry for the long winded post, I just thought that yesterday, maybe I didn't get to my point which was she suffered, but she did get better. We loved her regardless as she was a kind and gentle person.

Thank you so much KAT for your kind words. I really do feel I will overcome this, but it is frustrating to be in the throes of it and not know what to do but to run back home. I have not always felt this way, and I have gone back in my mind to figure out just when it started it and what triggered it. Honestly, I think the month before and 9/11 itself triggered something in me that I haven't been able to shake. We lost our neighbor who had been a lifelong friend, a funny man, the rock of Gibraltar for my family. He and I were the same age, our kids grew up together, he was a fireman, and knew how to do everything. He and his wife took care of my mama when she couldn't take care of herself and I couldn't get home to her when my hubby had his stroke. He died on a motorcycle vacation trip in August. By that time we had lived in mama's house after she died, and we were constantly together doing family things with both families. I can just remember all the laughter and joking and swimming in their pool....and then the laughter died. A month later 9/11 hit, and it was like the world had come to an end.

I have had this sick pit in my stomach ever since that summer. The feeling of impending doom.
I know I am not alone in this. But I have plodded on, and have basically ok, and certainly able to do what I needed to do when I needed to do it. I have had a few anxiety attacks along the way, but have been able to talk my way through most of them until this summer. I don't feel hopeless, or think things are useless, so why try. I've still got a lot of things I want to do, but all of the sudden I just can't seem to get out of the house. I guess what I'm trying to say is I don't feel blue and although it may be a form of depression, I don't feel depressed. I am perfectly happy just to be home. It's just when I push myself like I used to do that I can't do it.

I know this all sounds odd to someone that hasn't been through this. I am just glad I don't have to keep it to myself. My family has been great, and I feel when I go back to the doctor he may have some solutions for me. I do love handwork, cross stitch, and painting. I swear I was going to get it all out again, as I do get lost in it. But I just haven't. I guess I am addicted to SM and would be lost if I didn't come here. I have tried to take more time off-line with my family, and that has helped a lot.

Thanks ya'll for listening to me. You all knew I was a little nutty anyway.  I didn't mean to make this so long.
