Thanks Phil, never thought about that.

Damsel - Are you going to replace the dryer. I remember you saying you hang your clothes outside to dry. My mother does this also. Congrats on getting the chex mix done.

Hi Gina! Be interested in seeing how the DBT works out for you. Hope you will keep us all updated. Are you doing this in a group or individual setting? I ask my psychologist about group therapy sessions but they don't do them @ this psychology group where I go, but I think the group sessions can be highly beneficial sometimes.

i know you should not think about it but i waited for the mailman again. all i got was my laptop fan. lol.had a lot of stress today because my teens are going out of town. will get my older son to stay with me cause i can't be alone. fearful something will happen,don't know what though.

Glad you got the chex mix done damsel! I went to work. Now I'm exhausted and won't want to do anything.

Hang in there Alexis!!

Good for you for going to work today Howtohelp!

What kind of work do you do?

We have another dryer loStinCyberSpaCe so we're cool!

This other one is just taking up space in the laundry room.

I did hang more clothes out today though.

Admin stuff so I'm on the phone and the computer all day.

Are you enjoying your leftovers tonight from all the cooking you did over the weekend now HowtoHelp?

@alexis61, hang in there. Being constantly anxious and on edge is in many ways worse than panic. As the years have gone by since I was 1st DXed with PD, my panic attacks have gotten less (frequency, duration and intensity) but I still have not seen much reduction in my overall anxiety levels. I do get relief by doing things such as exercise and meditation and can feel pretty good and pretty normal on some days.

I can see it now.....80 years old and my anxiety and panic finally leave me for good. But, I am really old then and probably not much time left to live.

I hope not (LOL). It would be nice if I could get to age 60 and be comfortable managing without drugs.

alexis61, where are you at again in the SSDI process? I can't remember from the SSDI group. I could try and do a search I suppose.

Damsel- I am enjoying the leftovers. Its really helping since I feel like doing absolutely nothing when I get home from work.

I was this same way when I worked. Do you think this is common-the fatigue we feel?

Common to us yes and others without anxiety sometimes but I think the difference is we feel it more often than not.
