Jutst a quck update

I just thought I'd tell you I'm doing quite well. Two weeks ago I went to a cousin's housewarming party and had no anxiety problems there at all. She did let me use her private bathroom and that helped. This past weekend I went to my uncle's house and I had no problems there either. Work has been the same. You'll notice this log entry is happening at a time when I should be at work. I slept hard last night dreaming I was Bruce Wayne/Batman. Kinda funny but hey, you can't help what you dream when you're asleep. I imagine I think I'm trying to save the world too much and should be focusing on saving myself or protecting myself from the world. Well anyway, I'm sorting through a few things with the help of a wonderful (and dare I say, attractive) therapist. I want to ask my psychiatrist if I can start coming off of some of my medications soon. I guess in time he'll make that call. Right now my top priority is keeping my job, getting some money together and getting a car so I can get out more. Having a baby in the house has made homelife very interesting but my niece and her husband plan to move out soon. That will leave my sister, her husband, their son and me plus three cats. That will give me a chance to spend more time with their son and bond a little as he's going to need a positive male influence. Wish me luck. Half the time I'm positive, and the other half I'm negaitve. LOL. Oh well. Thought I'd post something here.

Whew

Well I didn't lose my job...thank God! I got docked for Feb 2 and 3 and I used three vacation days for Feb 8-10. I've been back to work since Feb 14th and so far all is good. I haven't missed a day and I haven't been late. I'm almost back to where i was last Sept 1st when I returned to work and totally calm. This weekend one of my cousins is having a housewarming party after moving into her own apartment and Im invited. I'm going as I need to face my fears as much as she needs to do the same. It's win-win all around. I'm off Monday for Pulaski Day. Other than that, the anxiety is gone. My doctor took me off of Celebrex and switched me to Tylenol Arthritis Pain formula and it works just as well without any potential dangerous side effects. I guess life is as good as it can get for now. :)
