My Christmas e-mail … (reflective) (kinda OT ?)

Question:

Thank you Kate for your thoughtful post. It sounds as if you have really progressed this year. Here’s to a panic-free 2000! Charley

– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Well, this will be my last e-mail for the year – and as I write this I find myself reflecting on how far I have come. I started off this year not knowing why I couldn’t stay at home alone, deciding that I was definately too old to have a babysitter at age 16, I decided to change my life. Then I found out what was wrong – that there was a cause for my being afraid, that I had panic attacks. This year has been one of self-discovery. I’ve discovered things about me that I might otherwise have not discovered. I’ve progressed this year, from hating the thought of staying home alone, to slowly coming accustomed to it, to cutting down my parents from ringing every 15 minutes to every hour. I think that without you guys here, I would still be feeling alone in this – but I know that there is support here when I need it. Thank you. I haven’t been a regular writer, but I have been a (seemly) regular reader. At times I’ve wished that I could take something to take ‘life’ away (not to die – but to numb the pain) but I’m not on meds I’m not bad enough for it – but I’ve always been a ‘health-shop’ person so I’ve turned part natural, trying stress formulas and rescue remedy – as recomended by someone on here – and I can say it works for me. Thank you to those who supply the humour and ‘OT’ messages – sometimes it’s uplifting to read them, and have a bit of a laugh – or ponder about the more inspirational ones. So, I thank you all for being here, may we all progress into the new year with a resolution we can all carry out – to be the best people we can be. Merry Christmas to you all, and a Happy New Year. Take care of yourselves over the holiday season. Kate xx :) *lotsa Christmas hugs* PS If you wish to reply please e-mail to me at: able to read this for a while.
