I'm sorry this is a hard time for you. It DOES sound to me that your reasons for not taking the trip are well-thought-out. It's not just one thing, or a "simple" excuse; not feeling well puts a crimp on things. You wouldn't feel like good company anyway. It's OK. When you are feeling better, I'll bet you'll take the opportunity. (Or at least, feel more like taking that step). Tonya's last blog post..What Are You Making for Turkey Day?

Like Ken said, awareness of where you’re at is an important step. It sounds like you’re making steps with the agor – remember, exposure therapy is the best treatment – slowly continuing to get out there.

Sending peace & love,

R has even started having panic attacks, so don't feel like you're abnormal. I feel bad every now and then about all the pills I take, but then I am reminded of how crazy our society is and wonder how everyone else is coping. You let Sage go and I think that's the best that you could do. Your support and encouragement will make a difference. My parents hardly wanted me to go anywhere or do anything. mary's last blog post..Gross Income

Hey, I brought some wine, a nice Italian red... Oh wait, my mistake. Sometimes things happen that suck, and you feel bad. If you have things in perspective (which you do), then there's nothing wrong with that. It's just proof that you're human. Pacian's last blog post..Into the Mind of the Sky Spiders: Part 21

Just found your blog. I like your point of view (similar to mine in lots of areas – you’ve obviously got good taste!) and the way you write. I have read lots of your posts, but going through all 300 is just a bit much for me!

Uh, am I too late to the party? Go to bed and you just might feel better the next day! Kelvin Kao's last blog post..New Series of Experiments Around Here

But you have been doing SO much better with it--give yourself credit! You don't feel like going for other reasons and they are legitimate. I wouldn't want to go either if I felt crappy and PMS moody. You wouldn't be good company and everyone would be miserable. You did the right thing, absolutely. Celebrate your selflessness. Hugs. Margaret's last blog post..Funky mood

It's a good sign when you actually realize you are having a pity party. Most people are so wrapped up in themselves that they have a pity party and can't step back and look at themselves objectively. You know, there isn't anything wrong with feeling sorry for yourself when things like this happen. Your self-awareness will drive you to do whatever it takes to get better in the future. We all have our crosses to bear and we have the occasional pity party as a result. I have a thing about talking on the telephone. When talking with strangers my throat tries to close up and I can't catch my breath. It is damn frustrating and embarrassing so I can feel a little of your pain. Feel better soon!

Michelle I hope you feel better soon. You could always try some evening primrose oil or Sam-e, I've tried both of these suplements and they seem to help a little. Although I usually just turn to the old stand by; Alcohol. Take care and feel better soon, Emma Emma's last blog post..Yay, My Site Is Back Up
