New mind please

I used to pray for riches while taking my health and sanity for granted. Now all I want is peace of mind, clarity, and an anxiety free life 🤷🏽‍♀️

I’m surviving. I just had to move into a different apartment and had no choice but to keep going all while the panic was present. It’s a good day. Yourself?

I think I had some type of depression after my c section but it went away after a few months. I couldn’t help but feel guilty when it did go away but I made sure to make it up to my little angel!! You will be fine it’s part of life just make sure you have people you can communicate your thoughts and feelings with! Feel free to message me anytime and don’t be afraid to seek professional help!

I’m from California

I used to want to travel the world and meet as many people as I could, now I just want to be able to go out with my friends without feeling scared.

It's not that hard to do we always neglect ourselves when we're running wild after the rainbow but the thing is on the way to your next rainbow feel the air in your hair the grass in your feet and then hear the animals it's sounds really lame but the best time I ever had in my life is when I was married and we would take off on a Saturday with my old truck and sit all day at the river with our packed lunch no amount of riches could ever replace those times and that is my go to when I need clarity

Hi Julie,

I fully agree with you.

Good health and happiness are the best gifts for us.

I wish you well.

All the best for the holidays.

Stay calm and try to enjoy the little pleasures of life.

Funny how i'd also pray for the same

Now i'm happy and embrace it each day...yes days are not the same some good and some bad panic attacks there and there but instead of freaking out like i usually do i just take deep breaths and draft down my thoughts to figure out the stressors.

take it one day at a time

Much Love

I definitely took my health for granted, I use to self medicate with alcohol and be out just doing me. Now I can’t walk out my front door without panicking. And now I think about all the other stuff that I thought was important wasn’t that important no more. I feel so along and for so many year’s I thought anxiety was a disease

I did the exact same for about 7 years! I know exactly how you’re feeling. After I conceived I left the drinking and smoking alone and now I’m like how do I cope?! These babies depend on me and I wish I could be that spunky happy fearless mommy they deserve.
