    About Me

    I'm a National Guard soldier's wife and mother of a 12 year old daughter. I have a boxer that I absolutely adore. I love shoes and boots! I live a pretty normal life for the most part. There are always exceptions to that though.

    Interests

    I'm a self proclaimed computer nerd and enjoy "fixing" computers. I also find joy in laying in the yard with my dog. That is where I find peace. Sounds crazy enough huh? I look at it this way..he loves me no matter what, he doesn't back talk, he doesn't ask for anything but food and water, so when I lay in the yard with him we are just content. He's happy that I'm giving him attention, I'm happy that he's happy.

      From hippiechick77 July 17

      Thank you soooo much for posting this!!! I plan to buy this book asap, and I didn't even know about it before you posted it. I, too, suffer from anxiety and it's made a mess of things in my life fo sure. Funny...I smoke pot to deal with anxiety, and now I have learned that pot can make i worse, so I have recently decided to quit. I'm dealing with both now - anxiety and pot withdrawl, and it ain't pretty. I am hoping that I will find help through this website, and your post has definately been a ray of hope!

    • Close Panic Attacks

      During the beginning of this year (2007) I had some anxiety issues. I was questioning my marriage yet at the same time looking for a new home to settle into. I had alot of "what if" questions going through my mind. "What if my husband doesn't love me like he says", "what if we buy a new home then divorce", "what if we buy a new home and my parents need care". Then my mother-in-law came in from out of town which pretty much pushed me over the edge. I started on Lexapro which then caused PA.

      Treatments

      Xanax Working / Worked
      I used for 5 days in the very beginning to rest and bring my anxiety level down. It helped for rest.
      Lexapro Not Working
      On the 3rd day of taking Lexapro I started having major panic attacks. Before the Lexapro I was just basically moody and ill. After the 1st panic attack the cycle started.
