Proof my meds are working:
1) I drove to the medical center, during rush hour, in the pouring rain, with Harris in the car asking me his same 5 questions, and.....I WAS FINE! I wasn't the least bit anxious. No white knuckles gripping the steering wheel, and no heart palpitations! I felt very calm and in control. Wow. Whole new feeling.
2) I've had a gazillion kids in my messy house all week to celebrate spring break with my kids and I've actually enjoyed it! I haven't stressed about the sound, sight or smell of my house. I haven't felt like I wanted to shut myself into my bedroom and hide or kick them all out. I've actually felt great joy in hanging out with my kids who are at a really great age, and their friends, who are some really great kids. I even joined in on some dancing and water fighting! It has been a blast! Wow! Joy! What a feeling!
3) I did some research on how to certify as a group fitness instructor and.....I was FINE! I didn't get all overwhelmed and start to panic that I needed to read every stitch of information ever written on the subject. I didn't let the long list of requirements knock the wind out of my sails. I didn't feel a sudden need to make it my whole life and be the best at it or anything. I didn't have an idenity crisis about where and how this would fit into my life. I was just able to reasearch something that interests me, and that could benefit my family, and take it all in stride! WOW! What a concept!
Yay for me! Yay for my drug dealer! Yay for medication! Yay for the Lord!
I still have a ways to go, but I have come so far!

That. Is. Awesome.
Yay for Liz! Yay for Liz! Yay for Liz!
Oh, so awesome, Liz!
And will you be a personal fitness trainer for me and my large butt? Please?
Oh... Oh... Oh... (hand raised) PICK ME! Get my big butt in shape too!
I'm so impressed by you. #1-3 would make ANYBODY feel some anxiety and you are doing great! Keep knockin' this one out of the park.
P.S. I would totally take your fitness class.
You so rock my friend!!

Way to go, Liz! I'm glad you are having such a great week.
I am so glad your meds are working! I am thrilled that you are enjoying your kids! Keep it up!
I am so glad to hear that your meds are working. I would have completely died in traffic in the rain. I hate driving in the rain.
Hope you continue to have a great spring break!
SO GLAD TO HEAR YOUR MEDS ARE WORKING FOR YOU!!!!! i wish i could say the same. i still have this anxiety thing that comes over me everyday around 4:30pm and lasts the rest of the evening. i guess that's when my meds wear off. i take them at 7:00pm because if i take them any later i'm sleepy in the morning and can't drive anywhere safely. ask laura about the 2 times she had to take me home from weight watchers because i was too sleepy to drive!
by the way.....count me in for the fitness class too!
So glad that you are having great success! When meds work...they work! YAY for a good week. Hey, did I ever tell you that I want to certify to become a yoga instructor? I set a goal at some point this year to lose weight and begin certification within one year. Can't remember when I set this goal....I suppose a year from today works! BTW-the drive downtown you described sent ME into a panic!
Yeah Liz! I am so glad the medicine is actually working. Medicine is definitely a gift from God. And you would make a great fitness instructer! Although your students will probably end up laughing more than exercising cuz you are so funny!
Liz! I have found you .. and I'm glad! I was reading through some of your old blogs .. and wow! We need to catch up! I can't believe how old your kids are getting! You look amazing! Please email me so I can add you to my blog .. it's private so I'll just need an email. Email me at jenniefullmer@hotmail.com with your email! Love ya and hope all is well .. or at least getting better! :)
