Hi, guys. I know it's been awhile...please excuse my absence.
So, how ya doin'? I really hope this post finds you having a magnificent day. To be honest with you, my day started out pretty rough but has faded to a quiet, peaceful evening.
Some of you may be aware (and those of you who aren't, I'm filling you in) that my depression & panic attacks have recently worsened, and it's by no other method than the power of prayer and the mighty, healing hands of the awesome God I serve that I'm even able to compose my thoughts to type this.
Today was another day spent in bed with a migraine. And, along with the migraine medicine comes panic...not sure what the trigger is, but it's guaranteed to happen every time I take one of those pills. Once I woke up, I was in a full blown attack, and needed to see my uncle; I have particular people who can help me thru these horrible whirlwinds, and he is one of them. So Sam dropped me off before heading to church, and it was a good evening spent with family, of course, after my meltdown was over. Please keep me and my family in your prayers--we need you.
I'm seeing another psychotherapist now, along with my psychiatrist, both of whom I absolutely love. But, I must admit that sometimes it really breaks my heart to be in those offices as a client; I remember a time in the past when I was going to school to be on of them...not one of me. It's during those times that I just have to take a deep breath and realize that I'm very sick, and it's important for me to get better...for myself, for my husband, for my babies, and for my family. I have to remember that God has me in this situation for a very specific reason...and it's not really necessary for me to understand why at this point.
What lies ahead is unbeknownst to me. We're leaning towards the recommendation from my therapist to get a therapy dog...but once I apply, I will be on a 12-18 month waiting list. Maybe I'll be miraculously healed by then!
Anyways, I know this probably isn't my typical silly or uplifting post, but it's just how things are right now. Know that I love you all very much and appreciate your prayers and support.
Big Love,
Sarah
