Hi everyone.

I just had to share this with you today.Its progress again.

I had my usual treatment about 24 hours ago.As ocd stops me doing many things including cooking food and eating food when I'm on my own,today it happened.

I had my entire meal without anyone needing to be here.I even did the dishes,etc and then went to my neighbour,who was the one to be today's carer and had to tell him he doesnt have to call in today.

I mean of all days this had to be the day it happened.I'm feeling a lot better now.Talk about feeling more normal.I havent been able to do this for almost 6 years.

Just wanted to share my news.

Chris.

Good on u chris,
I must say i have pushed my boundaries today by having xmas lunch at the table with all my family i didnt have to cook so that was a huge help my family done it all but i figure at 52 it was there turn lol. But because of my anxiety i would normally when feeling anxious eat in my room but today on our cold Aussie xmas day i sat at the table so pat on the back for us a both i say Merry Xmas.

Hi Net.

Thankyou for your kind thoughts.

I keep forgetting I'm over 50.

If you can get through xmas and have a nice day it makes it worthwhile.I just got a phonecall today from my friend/practitioner.The only phone call so far.I broke the news to him.He's just as pleased as I am.It made my day.

Its cold there? its cool down from the heat of 40C we had on Sunday.

(I'm in Adelaide).

Merry Chistmas,Net.Hugs.xxx.

I am pleased with myself apart from the waves of anxiety that come over me now and then like about now lol and i have 4 of my 5 kids here and 2 of there partners and 4 grandkids and im trying to act as normal as possible.
We had 32 here (Queanbeyan on the border of Canberra) yesterday and at the moment at 4.40 pm its 16 madness i say.
Im glad u got a phone call i have to say i am in a room with 11 other people and at times feel very alone i am proud that i have not said a word this time so they all may think mum is ok today :-)
Hugs Net xo

You've got to be proud of yourself no matter what you achieve.These accomplishments all add up.

Just a suggestion,I eat a lot of apples everyday.The nutrients seem to have a good affect on anxiety and ocd.I would suggest you could try eating apples at times on any day.You wont notice the difference for a few days.You might feel better regularly.Also,any calcium supplement is good too.I think that if you have potassium and magnesium combined are ok.Golden Glow up in Brissy have a good website and advice if you're unsure.

Its a bit dull here.I have a lack of understanding family and I havent seen them for year.Just mum and that was several weeks ago.

Its nice to know you're in a neighbouring part of Australia.Its nice to hear from Another Australian.Please feel free to send emails anytime if you want.I'm online from around 7am to 8.30pm but on/off throughout the day.

Chris.

Hi Net.

I'm about to post this mornings progress.

Its nice to know you had a nice day.Its important.I'm glad that I'm helping you some how,somewhere.

I'm in a lot of groups and forums.I've met people from all over the world.Even on facebook I've found few Australians.

I was searching on my facebook page and aussieschoolmates.com.au for old friends I knew locally here in SA.

Hope you have a nice sleep.

Chris.xxxx
