I agree with you, @brittany-foster. You do need to teach our government the Anxiety 101 class. They certainly could benefit if they would listen.

My hubby has been home all week with symptoms because of his stents back in November. I had him call his doctors. They tested him, so we have been trying to distance as much as possible. Thankfully.we…[Read more]

@mamabear007 that is so amazing that the store had that spot for your son. I remember you speaking about how well they treat him. I agree with you, the safest plan. I am happy to hear that he is doing well. How are you feeling today? Hugs from Texas.

I love that you use that as your phone background. I had an old quote on the back of my phone cover. It said Everything WILL be OK” and the beach background. Sadly, my new phone is larger, and that case did not fit. I had that one personalize for my old phone case.

We do need to remind ourselves how much we have endured and that we CAN get…[Read more]

@brittany-foster, this does take time and for us often to bite our tongues in some instances. Anger can escalate so fast if we do not “nip it in the butt.”

For me, I find that he has more anger than I do. He was in the Navy, so his PTSD, along with mine, can be difficult. Therapy helps, but this is another work in progress. I find that I am much…[Read more]

Hey @brittany-foster, you can get the anti-glare screen protector to see if that helps. I have not held one of those Nooks/Kindles but have seen them online. As I mentioned, I have only read articles on mine so far because I like the actual book in my hand. Too funny, I also like to highlight in my books still. I just stopped doing that recently…[Read more]

@Colleen, I loved reading that column. As I said, it makes me want to come on over and join game night or the family cooking. I am sure that with everyone’s home, it does get chaotic at times. Did your younger son go back to work, or is he still at home?

LOL @brittany-foster, I get it! It is just myself, my hubby and Sasha, our mini schnauzer. I…[Read more]

@colleensteele, my son is doing well.

@jenc, the grocery store where he works has an apartment upstairs from the store, so he had a place to stay where he wouldn’t be exposed. Definitely not the ideal situation, but the safer one.

@colleensteele, have you called the office to see if he would do a tele-appointment? Many doctors prefer that their patients *not* come into the office until C-19 is no longer a threat to them or their other patients. If he will do that, you could have him call in the prescription and ask the pharmacy if they have curb-side delivery so you won’t…[Read more]

Hi @colleensteele my family in quarantine consists of my dog and my fiance LOL. I think that we are all getting the best of each other at this point. I work from home anyways, so that really isn’t much of a change. My fiance knows when I need to get out of the house and we go for drives to get coffee or I just go for the ride to the grocery store…[Read more]

@colleensteele that is something that I didn’t think much about. For some medications it really is best to see the doctor first or it is required to see the doctor first. RI just passed a law that for narcotic prescriptions as long as the doctor is special certified to order them, it can be done electronically now. I’m sure doctors have to do…[Read more]

@mamabear007 absolutely caught us with our pants down!!! I like that saying! So true. I wish we were more prepared for this and had plans for “worst case scenarios” in place. I think the government needs some anxiety disorder lessons and they can also prepare for the worst possible outcomes in almost every situation. I can teach the “Anxiety 101″…[Read more]

@jenc I love this ! I think it’s so important to remind ourselves what we have been able to get through so far in life. There is a quote that I always like to remind myself of that says “You have survived 100% of your worst days. You can survive this too”. I always post this as the background of my phone when I need to read it over and over. It’s…[Read more]

@jenc oh yes, this is definitely something that I can work on. I need to be more vocal about what is going on instead of hiding it and then having him say something like “what did something happen today with your appointments?” and getting angry and upset about it before actually talking about it with me. I usually am the first one to snap, but we…[Read more]
