Feeling like I'm failing!
The new meds I think are working ok, I'm not as anxious!
But I googled tonight, epic fail!
I just want to feel normal again!
I know I have to work harder!
Today I just need encouragement!

Plus my husband is done, he said how many people will it take to convince me there is nothing wrong! And he says I do nothing to help myself!
The worse part, he's right and I'm loosing him and I'm scared!!!!

I want you to know I'm thinking of you. Sincerely and with deep concern. If I could just open my palm and blow peace onto you like dandelion flowers into the breeze - I would.

Skye,
I have only just caught up with this thread. I've not been on the Forums as much in the past week or so. So I am really sorry to hear that you have been struggling. You have helped me so much before with your support and hugs, and I want to offer you the same from me. Although I cant really offer any advice that would help, I want you to know that I really do care and hope you are starting to improve since your posts of yesterday.
You're not a failure in my eyes. I think you're wonderful. ( - :

Hi Skye.
I hope you are feeling better. I have some ideas for you but need to find some time to write them up,
I had the misfortune of having a mild stroke last week. I'm vision is impaired so in can not work at the moment. lots of doctors appointments and tests. I only found out it was a stroke today. It was a bit of a kick in the guts I must say. When things settle down I'll post.
Cheers
Dean

Omg Dean,
I am so so sorry for what you are going through! Please don't worry about me as I am feeling a lot better today, and for the first time in a very long time, I know all of these things I am experiencing is my OCD my anxiety, nothing more!
My thoughts and prayers and hugs are with you and your family and please know if I could make it better I would!
Your advice has helped me through a lot of darkness, I think of you like a father figure with your advice and ability to calm!

Oh Dean, how awful. Just do what you need to do in order to get better. Cant mess around with things like stroke. I sincerely hope you have a full recovery. It must be very distressing with your vision being affected?
Take good care.

Hi Skye....I am sorry that you are battling right now....It must be awful for you right now....Googling is a sign of trying to heal....You probably already know this but please try to use a government website...One of the best (only I have found is the NHS in the UK....Its in plain English and is without opinion.....
Please let us know how you are going.....You have so much to offer us Skye
Paul.....(please read Dean's post....even several times.....Dean has the clarity here)
