Trying to get my panic attacks under control.

Just going to make sure not to overextend myself and to always have a ready "exit" plan to use if needed.

We got through celebrating Christmas with my family yesterday and it was a lot better than I was expecting.

What is the next goal you have set for yourself? Do you have a plan to help achieve that goal?
Getting through the end of the year and then focusing on being more healthy and taking better care of my body. Still on the fence about TTCAL but if/when we are ready, I want to be as healthy as possible.

QOTW: What is your plan for getting through the holidays? Any ideas on how to make it easier on yourself?
No real plan, just getting through a day at a time. Thankfully we aren't planning to see any extended family, so that will hopefully be easier.

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?
Feeling appreciative of my family. At our early Christmas yesterday, every member of my family gave me a beautiful thoughtful gift in memory of Colton. it was really special.

Have you taken any new steps towards healing this week? Met with RE this week was good, I had anxiety leading up to the appointment but it went well. He was wonderful and allowed us time to talk about Raynor. 

What is the next goal you have set for yourself? Do you have a plan to help achieve that goal? Getting back to an exercise routine and getting healthy. I now have all the time in the world since I'm now a homemaker, at least for a while. 

 QOTW: What is your plan for getting through the holidays? Any ideas on how to make it easier on yourself? Avoid small children and babies, therefore not going home for the holidays. 

 Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? Need to decide how I want to put together Raynor's scrapbook. No papers, designs, nor albums are good enough.

Not really anything new...just allowing myself to cry and be sad when it comes..but also to laugh and be happy too!

What is the next goal you have set for yourself? Do you have a plan to help achieve that goal?
Well my next goal is to get AF as we have to wait at least 3 cycles before TTC again...I mean lets get this show on the road!! I don't have a plan for this because obviously its out of my control. But if I have not gotten it by the first of the year I'm going to call my doctor.

QOTW: What is your plan for getting through the holidays? Any ideas on how to make it easier on yourself?
Well I think just talking about Carter and having his scrapbook out for people to see to invite the conversation will be good. Also...wine!

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?
I'm looking forward to the holidays. I am continuously taking inventory of my thoughts feelings and emotions and even though I do have bad days..I would say I'm doing fairly well overall. I will be saying many prayers for all of us and our angels ♡♥
