It's been awhile since I've posted anything here. To be honest it's been an interesting month to say the least.
To make a long story short; I had been without my anti-depressants for about two months (I couldn't afford ADHD meds and my anti-depessants) and I was experiencing mini anxiety attacks and then one night after attending midweek at my church; a support group for people journeying thru difficult situations, I experienced my worse ever panic attack.
After midweek I was a wreck, I couldn't stop crying my friend that had driven me suggested that we go to our small group leaders house. We went and when I walked in the door I had a major panic attack. I think in total I had 2. I couldn't breathe, I was hot, I couldn't stop crying. I ended up wrenching (sorry if that's too much information) and I also had a nose bleed.
My small group leaders were wonderful as were those that were there. They held me, told me when to breathe, prayed over me. It was one of the worst experiences of my life. I am so thankful that I was surrounded by members of my small group.
Since then I have been doing much better, I am taking both meds, my anxiety seems to be lessening. Prayer is a wonderful thing!!
My work is going great. My am boy has been doing really well. He is speaking a little more each day, saying his letters, mimicking what I say (which means I have to watch what I mutter under my breath) and overall adjusting to transitions a little easier. My pm boy is starting to talk louder, and not need to be around me as much during free play.
One of the things that I have learned over this past month is that community is so important. Sharing where you are at is so important. Listening to others stories is vital to your own health and wellness. We can learn so much from others. Our stories may not be the same but the emotions can be. Learning different techniques how to handle different life situations is key.
If we think that we can't learn from others then we are sadly mistaken! As I journey this life my hope is that I will pay attention to those around me. Be involved in their stories, share mine. If I focus solely on myself not only will I be selfish but I will miss out on helping others.
