How soon are your appointments? Remember that anxiety won't kill you because it's a disease (as is depression) that "lies like a rug!" And you can take that to the bank!

I remember one particular time that I was getting really panicky & had already been depressed for a very long time. I had read in a book that you can tap your closed hand over your heart 3 times, breathe deep if you can and repeat each time.."I'm alive, I'll survive."

I don't know for sure but it helped me many times to settle down, take it easy & this, too shall pass.

I wish you rest, my friend.

Hearty hugs to you...Colleen.

That’s what your therapist is there for.

If she allows you to message her, it’s because she knows how badly you’re doing. Avoid messaging her when you’re like this, & she may feel like you don’t trust her enough to text her.

I’m sure she is, but she’d still want to hear from you, wouldn’t she?

Not what you're looking for?
