Ooh la-la!

Hehe *blushes* thanks @damian_stark!
I finally booked in with the counsellor and had my first appointment with her today. I was very nervous about it as the last few days I have been feeling pretty awful physically and emotionally all over the place. I have talked myself out of going to my local Emergency Department a number of times. The feelings have been so intense that I've had thoughts...

Man! I'm so proud of you right now:) Right now I'm at a decent place in my mind space; I've considering going to see a councillor since I've always wanted to do it. Your journey is inspiring me. Thank you :)
tamsyd:
Thank you so much for your amazing support and words of encouragement @teddykev. I'm really humbled to know my journey is connecting with you! I am actually looking forward to my next session, I really want to start working through all these feelings so I can feel better. I hope counselling goes great for you if that is what you choose, it is a wonderful guilt free way to vent and feel some pretty intense stuff. :)
Oh heck yes, Audioslave are legendary. Feel that bass go through you! Love the lyrics, guitar solos, everything. Love, love, love. Chris Cornell also has an incredibly sexy voice..... Mmm... Enjoy! Xxx
Oh, and a bonus acoustic cover of Soundgarden's Black Hole Sun... Yes!

Just a quick note to say thank you for all of the love lately! Logging in here and feeling all the love is something I am truly grateful for! Thank you all from the bottom of my heart!
Things are still going well, it's day to day and some are harder than others. I am still trying to sit with the pain and anxiety when

It's you've connected with someone who encourages alternative methods of dealing with life. Your dad & his bunny tracks is just priceless :)
tamsyd:
Thanks @teddykev, I am so happy to have met Dr Cali. I still haven't managed to book an appointment yet, but hopefully after this Easter break I can see the therapist. Dad's always amazing with the nephews. Even us bigger kids seem to have a great time too. I hope you are having a wonderful break! ; )
I know my blogs are generally quite sporadic, but I feel like I need to share where things are at now. We had hubby's parents come around on the Sunday a few weeks back, and it was some of the best time spent with them (my mum came over to support too). It was definitely awkward to broach the topic, but once it began it...

It's awesome that you have loving and encouraging people around for support. Tolerance and understanding are what the world needs more of.
tamsyd:
So true @joelyboy32, it is making this journey seem less daunting and overwhelming. If more actions came internally from a place of love, imagine the possibility of what the world could be for everyone. :)
I have been researching a lot into Chakras and vibrations relating to health at the moment. My Acupuncturist had spoken to me briefly about the 7 Chakras, and I am really interested to try and bring this into my healing journey. I have downloaded an app called Chakra Tuner and it is quite a good app. Today I basked in the wonderful sun and listened...

Oh man , when I have anxiety attacks, I just keep rocking back and forth, like I can't sit still and I try to calm down with controlled. deliberate breathing but I have yet to find a technique that helps me calm down quickly :( I know how hard it can be. Best of luck to you.
Well it's been a week and there's been a whole lot that has happened. It's been awful, but also great. So. Let me get into it.
In my last blog post I went to my GP and was prescribed anti depressants. For years, I have avoided taking medications as I used to pop pain killers like candy when I was younger. I also know people...

Wonderful! Great news, I love the fact you're on this path. I totally sympathies & can tell you I'm on the same road. It took me a while & it didn't happen over night. I also have yo make sure I keep working on it even now everything's back to normal again. Funny enough my sleeping & eating patterns (the ver basic stuff) was personally my biggest challenge. It seemed once I got that in line meditation & getting my life in order became way easier...well that was my thing I guess. Thank you for sharing, inspiring :)
tamsyd:
Thanks @teddykev for the kind words. I am glad to be on this path too, although it seems a little overwhelming to look into the journey ahead. It's positive for me to share my experience through this, and hopefully get support from others who have been through this or similar. I am constantly overwhelmed by the love from people here, it really is incredible. It's like a safe place, and that means so much to me, especially going through this. I would love to hear more about your journey and how you began as that is where I feel I am at the moment and sometimes don't know where to go next. Thank you once again for your support! Xxx
Well, I went to my GP today with my hubby and my plan for a more organic approach to things has taken a back seat for now. I have really been struggling the last few days and my hubby knew something wasn't right. Long story short, health issues aren't great, and I need some balance to get me through one step at a time.
So...

Well I wish you well. I have suffered with depression for most of my life, but I have never taken medication. Now anymore I have a lot of anxiety more so than depression. But anyway I guess I am just trying to say I know a bit about what you are feeling and I know that it sucks. Best to you and your family. To better times! :D
tamsyd:
Thanks @davedroid for the support. I'm no longer on the anti depressants as I seemed to react to them, so now I'm seeing a Chinese Herbalist and doing Acupuncture (which I'm much happier about). I'm trying to do as much as possible organically so this is a plus. I've never had these issues with stress and anxiety before and I'm trying to understand what is causing it. Hopefully I can get there and get to a really good place. It just seems like a scary and long journey at the moment. It makes me feel a lot better to know that I have the support of others here to help me through. Thanks for sharing your story too, it means so much! Xxx
