Hi everyone, Just wanted to share that I had my orientation today for the grad school program I'll be starting next week and I did not have a panic attack!! Everyday I'm learning more and more about how to talk myself down when I get anxious and with that gaining so much new hope for the future. I'm still checking my pulse several times a day, but I think that might be more related to my OCD...I'm hoping its one of the many phases that I go through with this disorder that will eventually pass. I started reading a book called "Overcoming Anxiety & Depression: Practical Tools to Help You Deal with Negative Emotions" by Bob Phillips. It's a self-help book obviously, and I find it to be quite interesting, there are a lot of inspirational quotes throughout, as well as quizzes that you can take to measure your own personal level of anxiety. Just thought I'd throw that out there in case anyone wanted to try it out. I also wanted to thank everyone on this forum just for being here. It is such a HUGE relief to have people to talk to who understand what you're going through. Thanks for the support guys!  Take Care, Kristin |

It's nice to know that you aren't the only one going thru something, and there is ALWAYS someone ready to help you anyway they can. MDJ is truly one of a kind, and I'm grateful for the friends I've made here." (jaime1978)
