    moogie, I guess I need to get myself and MP3 player!  Actually, I think I have one somewhere that I never figured out how to use.  Now would be a good time to find it and figure it out.  That would be small enough to keep in a purse or pocket.  A good distraction is a good thing!

    NATVEMAINER: There are some really inexpensive ones out there, as I didn't need an IPod ( I don't need to carry a thousand songs around with me...) Zen Creative makes some good ones. Mine is tiny and I just slip it into my pocket and go...

    You all have helped me feel like I am not alone and not crazy!  Sometimes I feel that I am just supposed to be all over this and back to everything that I did before and I just can't yet get back to that pace.  I try to do something productive every day which makes me feel good.  But, I just can't get my game face on.  Can't seem to get myself together. 

    I have dropped so many things Moogie.  My husband often just comes behind me with a broom & sweeps up my mess.  I have never broken so many dishes.  I thought it was the chemo but I think it is also exhaustion, nerves, everything.  

    We need to give ourselves permission to heal.  However much time that takes.

     Take Care,

    Bev

    You know it may sound basic, but I do deep breathing exercises at least twice a day to keep me relaxed but I know when you get a full blown attack everthing goes out of your head except wanting it to stop, belive me I know.  I think that the relaxation techniques that I have been able to use have helped me a lot along with the Cipralex that my doctor prescribed. Bev just do whatever you need to do to reduce the attacks it'll take time like you say, but they will subside, mine did, I have the occasional  one now but nothing like I did in the beginning. Hang in there.
