It's about that time again...

Here we go again......

It's that time of the month when my hormones are about to go out of whack.

It's not here yet, but I can feel it coming.

A couple of days ago, I started feeling as if I were nearing the "panic" cycle again, so today I checked my calendar to see when my last "panic attack" was, and it was October 3rd.

Today is November 2nd.

Yesterday and today I have been feeling a bit panicky at times.

So I've been breathing in deeply, trying to slow down, think positive thoughts, and not believe my worried mind.

My daily tasks already include reading the scriptures, reading some of the Ensign magazine, walking, drinking water and praying.

It also helps if I read the various books I have that discuss remedies and prevention methods for the types of emotions I get.

It helps if I try to keep a sense of humor.   : )

I must remind myself that I'm going to be OK.  I can handle this.

Tonight, I wasn't experiencing a panic attack, but in an effort to pump some natural Serotonin into my bloodstream, I "energetically" talked to my husband about loading the dishwasher, while I loaded the dishwasher.

It was a little helpful, but it didn't do the same thing for me as the last time I explained something to him.

I just realized that last time, I was dealing with FACTS, and how things ARE -- not how I think they should be.  Know what I mean?

Anyway -- I just wanted to mention that I'm aware that tomorrow is a month since the last attack.  I've been feeling some of the "pre-attack" feelings, so I know that I might be in for a bumpy ride over the next few days.  I'm trying to be aware of how I'm feeling.  I'm trying to just.... oh, I don't know -- be happy -- avoid a panic attack -- smile -- remain calm -- etc......   : )

Best wishes to me (and to you)!!!  : )

Have a good day!   : )
