    Had a panic attack today or yesterday Al, forget where now :o

    Tried the breathing, it seemed to calm me down, thanks for that.

    hi all!

    hope you don't mind me popping in in me nightie, but couldnt sleep, and decided to get up for a bit.

    thought i was getting over everything, and, in alot of respects, i still am, but i'm starting to realise that its only as you start to heal that your emotions start to come back.

    i havnt been able to cry for years, everything was beyond crying about, and i just couldnt physically do it. now things are healing, and its as if my body is telling me that in order to finish healing, i have to let go of all the bad stuff thats still hiding inside. i came really close to tears when i began to feel that today, but not close enough. it will happen, think i've got to go through a dip, before i can rise out of it all.

    sorry to be so philosophical at this hour of the morning.

    you all seem to be on the up again, al and mich, you are both doing so well, this is like a power struggle for the oscar - hope you both win:A :D

    xx

    :j gentle, your coming out of it. I haven't been through what you have, by a long way, in fact I've always been the one that caused it up to now.

    You've moved me to tears (again)

    All my love

    wish there was a thanks button beer, but seeing as how there isn't, when i do learn to cry, i'll cry a tear for you:kisses3:

    Right, I'm up and I'm going for a bike ride, no rain................ yet, so I'll see you in a while. By then someone must be up?

    How about, I tickle till you cry GP? Could be worse.....

    edit
    Bike ride well over, a few miles under the tyres, coffee(s) to recover, marmite on toast to help.
