Today I had a nice long acupuncture treatment. I feel calm and stable. I have come to the point where I need to get out and challenge myself. i have isolated myself so I don't have to be in stressful situatuions. My dogs love me unconditionally, but they aren't good conversationalists.
A month ago just thinking about looking for work would have sent me into a panic. Now, I think I can handle it.
This is difficult for me because I tend to be secretive. However, I look at what others have written in the anxiety discussions and most of it is exactly how I feel. I feel like crap today, and it's frustrating because I can't get anything done. My head aches and my back is tied in painful knots. I know I need to change some things, but I just feel powerless and paralyzed. I hesitate to let everyone read this for fear of being ridiculed, but I don't think that will happen here. So, this is a first step.

You're a woman of great strength you just don't know it. This journal entry took alot of courage and its a big step. I was alot like you, very secretive until I discovered many many people live with anxiety like mine or alot worse. Keep writing and reading, you'll find that you're not alone.
