[QUOTE="Overwhelmed1, post: 757688, member: 24921"] Good morning to all the lovely people. I haven't been on for several weeks and wanted to give an update on my progress. First, the medication I started, I stopped taking it. I started having side effects I could not live with. I was unable to get a good nights sleep and would wake up suddenly throughout the night in a panic. I also started having difficulty eating and when I did I could not taste the food and feel nauseated at the time. This was before I even started the full dose my doctor wanted me to take. Since stopping the medication, I feel much better. With prayer, meditating on the Word and constant focusing on the good when anxiety shows it's ugliness, I am doing well. My daughter and I are having better conversations and less confrontations. She has even said "sorry mom" on several occasions in the last several weeks when she has spoken to me disrespectfully or went off on a tangent. She is not asking or demanding money from me, however I am still helping her financially. I moved her to a much better area for her and the grandkids. She is getting a job close by her apartment. At the moment she can only work Friday night thru Sunday afternoon when I can watch the kids. Once school starts she will be able to work hours the kids are in school. All in all I am happy with this progress. My son worked for a month then quit. I am very unhappy about this. He and his girlfriend still live with me but the living situation is much better. I am getting help around the house and they have started paying me for living here. My son's attitude has changed drastically towards me. He is polite, offers to help with projects around the house, hasn't drank and even quit smoking cigarettes, he is vaping. I am quite proud of this. The vaping scares me, but it is a start. My son has also promised me he will be getting another job, that where he was working was not for him. I hope he keeps this promise and starts working again soon. There are quite a few good job openings in the area. With all this said, I really got through this with the help from all the wonderful people here that God put in my life. You all took the time to listen, respond with encouragement and wisdom, kept me on the right track and made me aware that I am worthy of a happy and good life. I cannot put in words how much you all mean to me other than I love you all!!! I read all the post and include this group in my prayers. I want to respond but don't feel I have much to offer those that are hurting other than my prayers. It is the wise people on here that I let respond, I read and learn. As well as my life is going at the moment, I will not lose focus that at anytime anyone can back slide. I will be better prepared if this happens and know that I have this group to turn to. I want my success to be an inspiration to everyone and a reflection of the awesome support this forum has provided me. Peace and Love [/QUOTE]
