[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 652712, member: 17542"] Isn't it weird how things can really shake our equilibrium? We can deal with the most awful stuff, like we on this forum have and still do, and then get ourselves upright and going again, and then something can crash us back down. A week ago today my computer crashed. (That even sounds minor when I type it...ugh). It has rocked my world, and I have allowed my anxiety to get the better of me several times over the past seven days. I told husband that I actually have gotten used to NOT having anxiety and I really don't like having it. Seems really small to be this upset over a computer, but it stopped my forward progress on just about everything, including posting here. Very frustrating how dependent I am on a dumb machine. Finally, I started to remind myself of all I have learned here......like lean in to problems....find some workarounds....realize it is what it is....hello??? Once I changed my attitude, my anxiety started to lessen...even though the computer still isn't back to 100 percent. Bad times with people in our lives are much worse than any dumb computer problems, and I am not trying to compare the two. I'm glad you are better and are moving on. You know the drill, that is clear. We are only human. We can't expect not to stumble. Glad you are here and posting. [/QUOTE]
