Interesting, shares alot of the same symptoms of MVP... Since you had that corrected I would check into anxiety attacks. I was perscribed medicine for it but never took it (it was a quick perscription written by a primary physician who barely made any analysis). Alot of people take meds for their anxiety and say that it is helpful (I personally try to approach situations without meds, if at all possible... since I am on enough as is and because I like to see if I can work it out in other ways... Some people cannot and need help)... Discuss this with your therapist, she/he may suggest meds or even other methods. Anxiety attacks are wretched and scarey, definitely see to it that this is something you can keep under control. I am sorry about your heart issue. I am however very proud that you took the first step towards healing, that takes alot of courage and strength, to admit you need some help! Im hoping the best for you, and I think this will be a good thing in the long run.

Yeah I know in th elong run it will be better but scarier then (beep) right now. It was actually a relief to me when they didnt find anything new I dont have to worry with every chest pain that I could die.

Right, with anxiety sometimes you feel as if you are going to die... I know I sure have at times, it is hard to stay a calm in a situation where your body is trying to tell you it has had enough. I am excited for you, eventhough you are scared.

I'm so glad you had a good talk with your husband... and that you slept well! Nothing changes your outlook so quickly as a good night's sleep.


I have no idea what a figure-eight race is, but it sounds great! I hope you have a wonderful weekend... but we'll be here if you get bored. Have fun!

You should try to set up little projects for yourself so you can keep busy during the week. I have the opposite problem as you- I'm busy with work during the week and tend to freak out at the weekends with having so much unstructured time. If I don't plan things to do, I'll just sit around upsetting myself, which is never a good time. So now during the weekends I try to force myself to leave my apartment (which is usually a bit of a challenge) and spend some time shopping, walking around the neighbourhood, or even doing little projects around my apartment. I know it can be real tough to force yourself to do things when you just feel terrible, but it does help to keep yourself distracted.

Just a few more days now before your appointment! Good luck!

How was your weekend? I hope that everything went well and you were able to de-stress and relax and sleep.

Just a few more days and you can hopeful get help from the therapist!

Sorry I havent been on to answer abck my computer got a virus sat and i had to hire someone to come fix it.

I had a rough night last night. Now im worring about thursday lol. My hubby wants to know what I want for my b-day I have no idea. We are going to the zoo in mn. saturday and my mom will be taking the kids from there.

I love zoos!!! The only thing that we talked about doing is going to the casino while the kids are gone for a day. I enjoy that but now i keep thinking what if something happens and we end up needing that money that we spent there.

My hubby has been really grumpy past few days and been trying to get me mad. Why do they do that?? He will make little comments that he knows tick me off. Sometimes I think he wants me to think im nuts.

I am hoping I dont chicken out by thursday. But I feel kind of stupid not even sure what to say to her.

You won't chicken out! You know that you need help and that she will be able to help you. It is a very scary prospect!

Everyone deserves to splurge for 1 day. Set yourself a gambling limit and enjoy your day at the casino!

its normal to be nervous- but remember that these people do this for a living & are professionals. tell them whats bothering you- tell them everything that you think you need to, because if you dont, they wont be able to help you properly

Try not to feel stupid because you're not! It will be okay.
I think you'll feel a lot better after you go, because you'll realize it's not as scary as you're thinking right now.
