  "I have panic attacks" (Angelhugss)

MDJunction to me

ThereseML"When I first came to MDJ, I was in need of peer support in dealing with issues of my childhood abuse. I was moving away from the painful issues and trying to find an uplifting group of people to help me transition to a thriver in my life. I found that here. I also found a group of peers with Fibromyalgia and found the same uplifting experience there. My computer crashed and it was a while before I found my way back, this time with issues related to Parkinson's Disease. I had tried a few other support sites before reminding myself of MDJ. On those, I never got a reply. I finally found my way back here and again found very supportive, caring and inspiring people who made me feel like I was 'back home'. Indeed I am." (ThereseML)

This one I saw the other day in the Panic Attacks Workbook is great. He says " choose long term freedom over immediate comfort".

What do you think that means to you? Smile

It means to do things instead of avoid or flee.

Nowhere in my post did I say I did not like what you posted.

All I asked was "what does it mean to you?"

That is all I asked about your quote.

I think that the quote is subject to interpretation. Wink

I like that quote. I think it means to not seek immediate satisfaction and be patient for a more worth while outcome

^Yes Mandieo that is the author's point! It helped me do things this week that I could have easily said no too again but I remembered! Another quote that helps me -I don't remember who said it or the right wording- but it has to do with staying the same (like continuing to avoid and miss out on life like with agoraphobia ) can be a more painful choice than facing what we need to to overcome the phobia.
