Keep on Keepin' on...

I haven't posted here in a while. I've been busy lately.... in a good way though. For one, I'm working as many hours as my work will allow so that I can afford all of my new expenses. Shopping?? Traveling?? hahaha -- definitely not. I get to spend my extra money on health and dental insurance, copays for therapy sessions, root canals, and making payments on my student loans. Gosh I love being an adult! I can't complain too much though because things, overall, have gotten better in my life lately. 

My psychiatrist explained to me that I am, indeed, suffering from air hunger, which is stemming from anxiety. Although it is still hard to convince myself that I'm actually creating my breathing problem, it makes me feel a little better that there is a specific label for my symptoms. Also, my therapist taught me some really cool exercises to fight anxiety and they seem to be working.... most of the time ("works 60% of the time, all the time"-- name that movie).  AND on top all that, it looks like I am going to be able to have iv sedation and sleep my way through my dental procedures. The down side-- it's going to cost an arm and a leg-- but its worth it for my sanity. I can make payments :)

I don't think anyone is actually reading my blog, but I will continue to write. Someone is bound to stumble upon it, and I like sharing my opinions and feelings for anyone who cares to hear them.
