a month of sickness...

...gets you another size smaller. I think I'm officially into a size 16, which is awesome. I bought 2 new jean skirts at old navy and one of them was actually a little loose on me :)

I'm feeling A LOT better and got a lot of great advice from people who have dealt with panic attacks/anxiety. For all of you who sent me info, encouragement, etc...thank you. I really couldn't have gotten through this craziness without you.

Starting Monday I'm going to try to get back into my reading/blogging/exercising routine, although I think I'm going to downsize my working out to only 30 minutes. We'll see what happens. I don't want to over do it, but I don't want to stay in the panic attack/depression/weirdness slump.

On Thursday, I couldn't be out of the house for more than an hour without feeling overwhelmed...and I didn't even shop for anything--I was mostly in the car. Today, I went shopping with my mom for 4 hours...and went home mostly because I was starving and a bit tired. But I wasn't overwhelmed. It feels really good. Sleep is not completely normal, but I'm also not sleeping in my own apartment so I think that's apart of it. I think I'm going to take a sleep aid again tonight to see if I can actually sleep for more than 4-5 hours at a time. I know I'm getting there, which is exciting.

Overall, God is faithful. He has totally been helping me through this. Truth heals, brings comfort, and peace. God is good...really good.
