guys i have panic also something terrible, my anxiety became so bad, i went to a dr recently, he put me on some meds. i can truly say it has helped me tremendously. there are still times when the anxiety seeps in and i'm sure you know it is NOT EASY to overcome it that easily. i wish i could carve her name into a wooden objec - but what object? or i saw these beautiful crystal blocks, where they can use a foto of her and put it in - beautiful, but bit expensive; or -- i don't know, that's for US, but how to not let people forget her. maybe get a blog page for her.... ?
I think it has been so hard to have my older kids grow up so fast... I feel like I need someone to nurture... and they do not want it ....my daughter is 23 and my son is 20..... it has been 3 years... but I still want to hold on tight to them... I know I need to let them spread thier wings... but I have the urge to hold on and be protective.... My Niles needed me so much and now it seems like the house is so empty. I feel that panic feeling too... Michelle. it has been like the whole house was emptied at once.... even though they both live here... they are hardly ever home and we barely bump in to each other let alone talk or do anything together... except for the benefit. Our life revolved around Niles now it is like we have spun away from the center.
wat appropriate words for our feelings....
My husband and I are a singing duet... there is a Brandi Carlise song called "The Story" I can relate to it as a line says: "All of these Lines across my face tell you the story of who I am....... (Another verse) You See the Smile that's on my Mouth...it's hiding the words that don't come out..... and All of my friends who think that I'm Blessed .... They Don't know MY head is a Mess... No they don't know who I really am and they don't know what I've been through like you do.... and I was made for you..." Yeah we all where our Happy Face mask almost every day.
Sophia, u really r not alone, i know we all put on that brave face... no one can begin to imagine our feelings. maybe talk to ur son's dad, maybe it wd be good for u. maybe it's time. hang in x x x x
GRACE i know exactly wat ur saying. many people - altho not exactly in those words - i think thought that my life would be more "back to normal" without now havin a special needs child. bless her, she took up every living moment of my life. and of all things my life is CERTAINLY NOT MORE NORMAL!!! i know the silence of their not being there. it's hard, so hard
KAREN, i had to smile reading yr post cos that's exactly what i do. i put her pics up, then i take them down, then i put her shirt in my closet, then i change it to my dresser, then into a bag, then the pics up again, all depending on my emotions. i'm sure people think i'm crazy, but at least i know i'm not alone - we just know A DIFFERENT NORMAL xxxx
