Wanting to learn, grow, overcome, and heal!

[Freeinchris]

Thank you for adding me to this site.

Im 45 and raising my sisters two kids we've adopted. We did not want kids so this is extra hard on me. Plus our son (11yrs old) has had issues since he was a baby that took my stress level through the roof. Combine this with a ruthless mother n law and my health has been declining since 1999. I have slowly developed anxiety, panic attacks, mild depression, bad eating habits that border addiction, and negative hopeless dark thought patterns. Im in the process of regaining control through prayer, scripture, and healthy eating. I have found that the sugar/carb addiction is fueling the conditions. But i still have a few places that can send me into panic mode. Hospital visits and singing in the choir outside of my home church.

This process of renewing my mind is slower than i thought it would be lol painstakingly slower!

Any tips are greatly appreciated❤

Sounds like you have everything covered so far I would encourage you to continue to keep a positive frame of mind.

Accepting that it is a slow process is probably the most important thing - and it is quite difficult sometimes. It's something that I have struggled with greatly but have made progress. Thanks for sharing with us.
