Posted by Wauchula Woman on 9/12/2006, 7:33 pm, in reply to "Where are you????" Since then, I've had so much energy and started doing some of the things I like doing again. I love to read and I read two books, "Monster" and "House". Do you like Frank Perretti's books? He's a Christian author and he writes fiction but boy are they gripping. It's suspense. I think Monster was the best one. Tommy and I have started going to Sunday School and Bible study. You know, I haven't been worried or upset about anything since I got on my medicine. So actually, that trip to the ER was a good thing. I also found out that a lot of my anxiety was due to having to travel this one tremendously busy highway. I thought that it was the thought of going to work that was causing a lot of my symptoms, but I noticed always started right when I turned on that highway and started getting in the middle of all that crazy traffic. So I started taking the backroads for the hour commute to and from work. I take these roads back through mined land and don't hit any traffic until right before I get to work. That was a good change for me, it's relieved a lot of stress too. So there are some really good things going on. Mother was sending me a nasty letter per day right after I went to the ER, but on this medication, it doesn't even bother me. I just told Tommy to read them and if there was anything new in them to let me know, I've stopped reading her garbage. Remember I told you my mom had bought my brother a computer. Well, he's been writing me and I've been writing him back (careful to steer clear of anything mother might use for ammo). I actually think that that computer may be good for our (my brother and I's) relationship. Neither of us much like talking on the phone, so this is a good way for us to be able to communicate. So how's it going for you? I hope things are better with your M-I-L. I guess God must have answered my prayers in a round about way. I don't like being dependent on pills for peace and inner calm, but at this time, I think it's a Godsend. I was sinking fast. And my doctor goes to my church, he sits right in front of me. So while I was in there we had a long talk about faith. He's very old, he was my doctor from the time I was 4 years old. I'll hate it when he retires....though I think he'll keep practicing till he dies if his health permits. Well, that's it. Now listen, if I don't respond right away, it's just because I'm not online. I go through spells at times when I don't turn on the computer for a couple of weeks, then it seems like all I'm doing is being online. I sort of go in spurts. Take Care and God bless. Lisa

I can't remember what I wrote last, so forgive me if I'm repeating myself. I went to my doctor after that night at the hospital and got some medication. It's been like the difference in night and day. I really had not realized how depressed and stressed out I had been until I started taking my medication.
