Dh didn't really want me to post this. He is just looking out for me I think, worried what people might think I suppose. I found it very theraputic to scrap about, but now I am a little hesitant myself. LOL

Journaling reads:
Ten years ago, I was diagnosed with Generalized anxiety disorder, and ten years later, I am still fighting this thing. I hate it. Somehow it has snuck up on me and managed to take over a large part of my life, and I can't seem to break free of it's hold over me. Nights are the worst, nights when I wake up in panic- my heart races , nausea takes over & I am completely in its grip, I feel weak and powerless and utterly out of control. I take pride in my strength and of being in control of my life, but sometimes I feel like it has defined me as a person, wife and mother. I can be contolling, quick to lose my temper and I don't have alot of patience. I am a germaphobe which is a direct affect of having anxiety. I am afraid to do many things, like travel, in fear of an anxiety attack. I worry about what people think of me, as much as I hate to admit it. I thank God for things like writing which almost always get me through the rough patches. Scrapbooking does the same. I can't complain about it all though, having this does have its advantages. I strive to overcome obstacles, because of and for my kids. I am more sensitive to the feelings of others, and even when I feel weak, I have to remind myself that I am strong, I am fighting to try and overcome and define myself in a whole new way. I hope one day I will be successful. I pray for that
