Anxiety Learned or Imbalance?
August 14, 2012 By Leave a Comment
When I first went to get help for my anxiety I was told it was all in my head and I needed to learn to deal with it. Some believe anxiety is learned, while others believe it's an imbalance. Did I learn my anxiety or was I born with it. I can sit here and recall many times when I would have an attack, I can tell you what triggered it and all the symptoms that followed with it. I have tried many times the learn to deal with it approach. Many times failed. If you have anxiety you would know that there really is no learn to deal with it. While at times I can keep the symptoms down to a minimum I can not completely remove the feelings I have when an attack happens. Never had anxiety, not sure what an attack is? Let me explain, picture going down a big roller coaster at an amusement park the rush you get. Try walking around everyday feeling that same way but the rush is a rush of fear. A fear that something will happen that is beyond your control. Growing up we had a house fire … [Read more...]
Making Life Easier

Have you ever thought about getting permanent makeup? I don't wear a whole lot of makeup, my normal is eyeliner, blush and lipstick. Half the time I don't even use a foundation. Thankfully I was blessed with a nice complexion. Not long ago I seen a show on permanent makeup. I started thinking to myself how nice it would be to have permanent eyeliner. When I wear eyeliner, I only wear black anyways. It helps bring out my eyes better. With having permanent eyeliner, I would never have to worry about messing up my eyeliner when I went into one of my depression states, where it seems like all I want to do is cry. Not only that it would be very nice to just leave the house and not have to worry about applying eyeliner. Us women got the wrong end of the stick, not only do we have to shave almost daily, we have to also worry about what we look like when we leave the house. Having the ability to have permanent face makeup would be a blessing. How many of you have thought about getting … [Read more...]
Anxiety Controls My Life
August 8, 2012 By Leave a Comment
As I sit here, I am having one of my wonderful attacks. I hate feeling the way I feel most the time. I try to keep my mind on other things, that's why I enter giveaways. Entering giveaways lets me focus on entering instead of everything else in my life. If you have ever had a panic attack you probably know what I am talking about. Through-out the day I have about 3 to 4 attacks. The symptoms include hot and cold flashes, nausea, and a deep emptiness in the pit of my stomach. When I get to feeling this way I just want to be left a lone. I want to drown in my own little world. I recently started having a lot of headaches, I normally don't have headaches. If you suffer from anxiety you know where I am coming from when I say anxiety controls my life. I cannot go out with my husband and have a good time because I freak, I cannot take my daughter to fun places because I freak. Simple trips to Memphis don't happen because I freak. Yesterday I went to Memphis for the first time by … [Read more...]
Discipline May Not Be Easy But Is Needed
August 3, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Being a parent is far from easy; when our children were born, a manual didn’t come with them. Each parent has their own way of raising their children. Growing up we learn how to parent from our own parent figures. One of the hardest parts of being a parent is disciplining our children. We want them to grow up well behaved and have good manners so disciplining is very important. If children are not given proper discipline at a young age a parent will often find, as their child gets older, they’re harder to handle. Positive discipline will have a huge impact on your child. At the time, we as parents may feel guilty; however, by proper disciplining we are helping guide our children in the right direction in life. They will feel more safe, secured, and valued, as they grow older. They will also show you as the parent more respect. When it comes to disciplining, it’s important to discipline based on age. I am not here to tell you how to properly discipline. Each child reacts to … [Read more...]
