Well, I had a small Freak Out On Thursday. I had taken my daughter, her girlfriend, and my granddaughter to Mackinaw (for you non-Michiganders, it's a touristy spot, that's usually very crowded). I sometimes don't do well with crowds, but we were okay..until lunch. We went into a bar/grill place that I know had good food. We ate, but some really loud people had come in and sat a couple of tables down and were just screaming, obnoxious. I felt myself getting more and more anxious, felt the walls start coming in closer and closer, having problems breathing, finally couldn't take it, we were waiting for our bill, I looked at the girls and said "I NEED to get out of here!" And bless her soul, my daughter's girlfriend stood up, got the bill, paid for it, and got us out of there within 5 minutes. She is sooo cool. I apologized, but they said, hey no problem, those people were getting on our nerves too. That wasn't it, you guys know what I mean, I was about to have a breakdown there. And that would have scared my little granddaughter, I'm sure. But both my daughter and her girlfriend know about BP, and they were really cool and got me out. I guess that is one advantage to being honest with family and friends, and having them understand, hey?? J-ROCK, it ain't AM, it ain't FM, she's BP all the way! |

"MDJunction to me has been the helping friends of understanding that I have needed. I feel now as if someone else it the world understands the things that I am going through. I feel less alone and happier. Here I can let out all my emotions and get support from many people who have been in similar situations. It really has been a life saver for me!" (Amanda78)
