Where I would like to be in 6 months (in no particular order):

 

To be able to go to my kid's functions w/o feeling anxious or have a panic attack

To be able to drive again

To be able to go places w/o having my "safe person" with me

To like myself

To be able to let go of the guilt I feel every day about all the horrible decisions I had to make about my son.

To be much less anxious and panicky or for it to be gone completely

To be able to go out to dinner with my hubby

To be working again

To enjoy being around my kids and not be so agitated with them

To have my hubby be able to trust me again regarding my safety

To lose 50 pounds

In 6 months time I'd love to have all my meds sorted so I could be back to living the life I lost over 20 months ago.

I want to be able to do all the things with the kids I can't anymore and I'd like to be able to apply to start studying nursing.

I wish I could see myself alot better. As in:
not depressed
no anxiety
no panic
0 panic attacks
0 social phobia
able to enjoy life
able to function normally in society
able to be with my friends
able to do my school work (concentrate and focus)
able to laugh and have fun
not be in pain
play sports
100% confident
happy
0 worrying about everything
no racing thoughts
able to enjoy being around other people
have a normal sleep pattern
wake up feeling refreshed for once

minimal stress level

What can I say....I have high expectations!! Thats just the first things that come to mind! Yea, that is not all going to happen. At least not in 6 months! But, I can dream can't I!! But, seriously I hope I can regain who I want to be and be able to enjoy life again. No matter how long it takes, I will get better! I am determined!!!

In 6 months I will be in another state, working for a new company, living in a new home, breathing and learning more about myself, experience and meeting new people, places and things. Writing on the forums, riding on my bicycle, laughing as much as possible...

thats what i'll be doing :)

I want to be able to drive to the airport, get on a plane, fly to Hawaii, sit on the beach, drink mai tai, all by myself. I won't happen, but we can all dream.
I long for the days of 100% total independence from a safe zone.

Oh man this just really hit home with me. I have those thoughts every single day. I know it is achievable, I have done it before. I got my freedom and independence back. I had it for awhile, then life and stress took over and BAM it was gone again. But omg I could just cry right now thinking about it. It was soooooooooo wonderful to be able to have the freedom. Wow. Yes I think I 'am going to cry now. We have to hang in there, I know it can be done.

Thank you so much lyn.... yeah   It's a journey thats for sure. But the more you do , the easier it gets.  And even if you have a slip and a bad day. It's still much easier to back on the wagon sorta speak.  The more you stay confined to your "safe" place. The harder it gets.   I have to keep telling myself this all the time. Everytime I want to take flight, I give myself the chance to change my mind now. Where as before, I would say I have to go or not go and boom, either I had to leave where I was, or did not  leave home period. Now, I give myself a chance to talk my way through it. Tiny step, but none the less a step lol.

Blue's post is right on..........I love what you said and the sense it makes and you make ........It is a journey for sure..........I have seen you come so far as well .......you will acheive all you set out to '

6 months from now....

Well, I would like to be able to enjoy life a little more. It seems as if I keep dwelling on my fears and axiety that I don't live each day like there is no tomarrow. I want to have a better family relationship. Most of my immediate family lives within 20 miles of each other. The only times we get together is the holidays, weddings and funerals. I enjoy spending time with my neices and nephews. I would like to start my carrer in fire safety. I'm just worried that my anxiety and panic attacks would prevent me from doing my job to its fullest. I would like to have a better grip on my financial situation. Last but not least I would like to have a stonger relationship with my wife. We've had a bumpy road the past few months, it seems to be looking up though. Thats all for now, Allmixedup

I have been living in Neverland trying my best to be Peter Pan as opposed to one of his lost boys for quite some time (Chico, CA). I have taken the steps to get out of here, which includes finding a job and a destination city. I don't know where I am going to be in six months. I have nothing holding me down from anything. Being unaware of where I will be then is a great feeling.

In 6 months I would like to still be with my boyfriend, to have passed my driving test and to have a job. All things which I feel I can achieve, because they're not massive things, but they are really really really important to me because they're the sort of things other people seem to have already achieved but not me!

I would like to be on the other side of the anxiety fence. I feel in the last 4 months and certainly in the last month since seeing my CBT therapist that there is light at the end of the tunnel. I would like to be able to go to social engagements without worrying about whether I am going to have an attack. It seems that when I don't think about it - I tend not to have one! Bizarre but true. I would like to be free of panic attacks all together!

mynameis

YES they are important to you .......and to us

YOU will do it .......I know you will ............

Chowch

You are so right
You have come so far and I know you will go further
You have the want and the need in you to do so..THAT makes a huge difference

My thoughts are with you my friend

Keep us posted
