Re: Paranoia and Fear/Thanks

[Guest guest]

Thanks Sharon, Courage and Janet,

I want you to know how much I appreciate your continuous support.

I whished I knew why I have this underlying fear and don't feel safe

then I could face it or do something about it, but it seems to come

from deep within and for no reason. I can say that the medications are

helping, but still feel afraid to be left alone at night. I try to

remain calm and I am doing pretty good for the moment.

Once asleep I am alright as I do sleep through the night for 11 hours.

Well currently my husband wakes me at 8 in the morning for meds then I

go back to sleep for at least another hour. I don't nap during the day.

I thank God for the Dr.s I have as they are good at helping me stay on

top of things.

Courage I will keep in mind that you are online at night or at least

try to as there may be a tiome I would like to talk.

I am usually off the computer though by 7 pm.

Janet I wiished there was something I could say that would give you an

idea of what your husband is afraid of, but all I can say is that with

me I just feel unsafe. I know that a routine helps me somewhat. Any

change such as the neighbors dropping in or just anything different

throws me out of kelter and makes me nervous and restless. I think that

is true during the day as well.

Sharon you are a blessing to me and I always appreciate your being

there.

thanks for the emails. Warm hugs to all...Patti
