MDJunction to me

fluffyluggage"I found MDJunction at a time when I was struggling with so much. I
was so sick. I found a home, a place where people understood me, when
even my family doubted me. In MDJ, I found a place of refuge, love,
and support. I come here daily, to find my balance, to cope, and to
find that same support I've found from day 1. MDJ is my new family.
The friends I've made here will remain with me for a lifetime.

forgot to ask in my last post, does anyone else find they get that panic feeling if they are hungry? does blood sugar levels and panic/anxiety go together?

i don't know if blood sugar has anything to do with it for sure but i think it does. i do get almost the exact symptoms when i am hungry as i do in a mild panic attack. the dizziness, the not feeling connected with the world (if that makes any sense), the jitters. would be interesting to find out for sure if it has anything to do with blood sugar.

The lights of our hearts have dimmed today,
for with God's calling you went away.
The newest angel to sit by his side,
has brought to his eyes a gleam of pride.
But what of us whom you've left behind?
Within earthly chains we remain confined.
Rage, confusion, and despair whirl in rapid haste
from the brutal reality we are forced to face.
Seemingly trapped within an infinite void,
full of painful tears impossible to avoid.
To turn back time is our unwavering dream,
when our heartache is at its most extreme.
Nothing in the world could ever take the place
of your laugh, your smile, or your warm embrace.
But we must find a way to continue on,
to make a new life without our beloved son.
Through the darkest of tunnels we trod ahead,
regretting petty angers and I love you's unsaid.
I pray for the day we may find some solace.
Perhaps when we meet in God's great palace.

i've noticed that if my boyfriend does not eat again within four hours or so after his last meal, he is very likely to have a bad attack. he doesnt think eating has anything to do with it, will say he is not hungry, but 80% of the time, if he doesnt eat within this schedule, he will have an attack. if i notice he's getting edgy, i have been able to ward off full-blown ones by getting him to eat, or giving him a granola bar or somehting.

you're onto something here w/ blood sugar... pating attention to eating- great strategy for keeping yourself feeling well.....
