This health anxiety is crazy!  It totally monopolizes our lives.  Diversion is the only way to do it!  It takes lots of practice but it is beginning to work!

I am trying, however I need a new job. It causes more stress than needed. i need to be on medicine, however I do not handle the side effects well at all. I just have the worst health anxiety, and I am tired of being scared. im glad you are doing much better this summer. Best wishes

Summer is much better this year than last.  (Even though I am going through this thing with my mouth.)  I have been keeping busy and my daughter keeps me very busy!!!  My husband is also only working part time this summer so having him around helps me also.  Last year I was a new mom (my daughter was adopted from China in March 2006) and I think I was very overwhelmed.  Also, I have been taking Charles Linden's advice (the linden Method)..DIVERSION...Last year I stayed home all the time because I was a little phobic about going out.  This year I keep busy and get out of the house as much as possible.  Also, my daughter is in daycare 2 days a week which gives me time to unwind and do what I need to do for me.  

Thank you for asking!  And yes!  I am very excited about starting school again!  Believe me, I get anxious with work too, but it seems to subside much quicker once I am in the routine!

And how are you doing?????????
