This weekend was great! I got to spend the weekend with family that I don't get to see very often. But what I most liked was spending time with my aunt! She has anxiety too and it felt really good to be able to talk to someone that could relate to me. I had a little trouble with my anxiety because new things and change trigger my anxiety, but I made it through! Thank you, Jesus! Today was a milestone, because I went to my friends house. I haven't been there in about six months. I was a little anxious, but I did it! Thank you, Lord! I am def. moving in the right direction, with the Lord's help. I am having a little problem with someone. So I would appreciate it if you could keep me in your prayers. That the Lord will help me to work through this between me and the Lord. And not blow up! Thank you! I hope you all have a blessed night.

A poem my aunt wrote.

Anxiety
Anxiety is one of satan tools...
He uses them to keep you fooled.
Satan puts your heart in fear...
Jesus gives you all your gear.
Satan wants you to be afraid...
Jesus gives you llife that's been paid.
Satan wants your nerves on end...
Jesus wants us all to mend.
Satan wants to keep you bound...
Jesus wants you to be sound.
Satan wants your life a mess...
Jesus wants you at your best.
Anxiety is satan's trap...
he wants to keep you where your at.
Anxiety will cripple you...
it will keep you from what you need to do.
Turn your eyes on Jesus now...
and you'll no longer have to bow.
To satan's lies and tricks he pulls...
Jesus don't want you to be fooled.
Read your bible every day...
Jesus will make a way.
Pray to Him with all your heart...
Jesus will never ever part.
Pray-Seek-Ask-and Read...
Jesus will provide your every need.
Now don't let anxiety get you down...
All it does is make you frown.
Jesus wants the best for you...
Trust Him, you'll make it through.

I am really proud of myself. I know it may seem small to some, but to me it's major. For the past three days or so, I have been getting out of my car to rent and return movies to Redbox. I even went inside and paid for a pumped my own gas. Like a said before it may seem small, but before I couldn't do it. I panicked when I went into the store, but the point is that I did it! Thank you Lord for your strength!

Had a great day today! I'm proud of myself! While I was doing clothes today, I started to get really anxious, but instead of going to sit down I stayed there and continued what I was doing. It was not easy, but I did it! Thank you Jesus for Your strength to overcome! It's one step in the right direction! Well, I hope everyone has a blessed night.

I started my day out cleaning.When I am cleaning or if I'm rushing around doing something, I become so anxious and end up having to sit down for a minute to catch my breath, because my heart is pounding so hard. Does this happen to anyone? Does anyone have any suggestion on things I can do to prevent this from happening? I've been having trouble sleeping lately. Does anyone have any ideas of natural ways of getting to sleep? Other than the little bit of anxiety that I had earlier I had a great day today! I'm about to go watch a Christmas movie with my little girl. I hope everyone has a nice well rested night!
