Post Traumatic Stress Disorder & Severe Anxiety...
Have you been diagnosed with PTSD? Are you experiencing enormous amounts of added stresses that exacerbate your condition and make you feel anxious all the time?
PTSD is a medical disorder that sadly has profound effects on the individuals life. I recently found out, by one of my provider's that panic attacks can even occur when we are sleeping. I never knew this but it explained why I get up in the middle of the night feeling like my breathing has stopped and I need air. I sleep with a fan in my face year round for aging reasons so I'm getting plenty of air. I also participated in a sleep study to ensure that I did not have Sleep Apnea but I don't.
Waking up like this is very scary and at times I'm afraid of falling asleep. I'm glad that I mentioned it to one of my psychiatrists because not knowing what was happening was inducing even more discomfort and anxiety.
When we are the victims of traumatic experiences and/ or are re-traumatized life can become so uncomfortable but please keep in mind that; If, we were strong enough to survive the traumatic experience/s we are all the more powerful in our continued efforts to heal!
Our faith will be tested as well as our self worth but don't waiver my friends because we are survivors and this too will be an opportunity for us to show just how passionate we are about deserving meaningful lives.
Hugs,
Roxie ~

I am trying to keep my calm but not being able to communicate is making me so anxious.
It will be making you anxious sweetie hopefully all will be back to normal soon Hugs Piglit xo
Still at the library :-(.
I waited all morning yesterday and my provider stated that I was not scheduled to have a technician come fix the problems. I was told tomorrow morning. What timing? I still don't know about mom...sleep has not been great
Hugs,

must be another phone to contact your mum I would be over there or have used another form of contact
The last thing that a person needs is to be judged for not being able to be on a computer day and night. While I enjoy being online with the many friends that I have made, or thought I made, a thunderstorm had me without power. NO PHONE, NO INTERNET......
It saddens me that people can turn against one another over the inability to communicate.
Nonetheless, I am waiting to hear from my moms partner so he can tell me how the procedure went.
🙁
