Hot!
BRIAN & ANGELA said:

HI SISTER CHRIS ~ Love this poem ~ it is quite upbeat ~ abut the HEAT ! Only a few weeks ago you were complaining abut freezing to death ~ What an amazing State to be in ! Like the UK you are also surrounded by Water but yours is Fresh and ours is salty (we have to make sure we don\'t drink too much !) Angela feels at home in NZ because Auckland is also surrounded by (sea) water and of course it is WINTER so it is cool @ night 5C (40F) and in the day 13C (55F) We are having a HEATWAVE TOO 25C (77F) and higher everyday and forecast into next week. WIMBLEDON has started (The Williamson Sisters are both through to the next round) ANDY MURRAY is not competing (BOO HOO) Love your poem ~ more like that please ~ TUS HERMANOS en CHRITOS Brian Y Angela ~ Siete Abrazos Grandes @@@@@@@

Have you checked my FUSION on Luxuries for a Desert Island ~ there may be ONE SLOT LEFT or you can add a POEM when it\'s published Thanks B !

Through Prayer & meditation you can be lifted up into a RELAXING SEVENTH HEAVEN ~ I know I can ~ especially on a RETREAT ~ Try one ? V 4. You are NOT alone CHRIS ~ You have your Family ~ Your Friends and lots of us on MPS (digest the comments) really love you and are Praying for you ! V 5.

Well, I came across a church which gives, among other things, \'Peace Treatments\'. Don\'t know what they do exactly. Sounds good though!

BRIAN & ANGELA said:

HI CHRIS ~ trying to catch up with the postings of my MPS Family. This is very frank ~ I trust you found it cathartic. The older Students (25+) on my \"Access to Higher Education Course\" (about 30 per annum) have a range of apprehensions. In our pre-course 1 to 1 Counselling Sessions they use many of the expressions in your poem ~ which i trust you found cathartic. Uncertainty ~ Nightmares ~ Living a Lie ~ Just holding on ~ No one understands ~ Living with fear ~ Screaming inside ~ No one listens or understands etc. Despite this in my experience (to date) none have failed to start the Course (1 or 2 years). One of the reasons is that they are starting on a \"Tailor Made Course\" which they really want to do ! Also the fellowship and interaction of their Tutors & Felloiw Students. They are starting again at 28 to pick up where they left off @ 18 for many reasons ! I hope and pray that you will be able to resume your Nursing Soon even if only on a part-time basis ~ I believe that would make a big difference to how you feel ? Every Blessing ~ Thinking of YOU and Praying for YOU ~ Love BRIAN & ANGELA I am pleased you have had so many positive and supportive replies ~ MPS is a very empathetic FAMILY ~ We all lift you UP ~ B & A

A fine write Christina. I experience it minimally. It\'s to do with the mind. Prayers needed for a sound mind. Not \'unsound\' in an unbalanced way though.
Yes - I do wish I would stop singing, to stop you screaming inside! heehee.

This test of life is just for you
Now we know and hear them too
Next time they tell you what to do
We\'ll be there to heal the wounds

Just keep on writing it\'s all true!
I\'m definitely saying this to me and you
Thank you for sharing what you go through

I was moved by your writing and comments.

I’ve battled anxiety for many years and finally have found some relief. Writing is one of several things that helps me. Anxiety can be very crippling. I never believed that my anxiety could become manageable and even completely absent sometimes, but it has.

Thank you for sharing through writing. I wish success in dealing with anxiety in your life. I hope you have peace in your heart and mind.

Kindest Regards

The answer can be in writing, you can lose yourself in the realm of words where other problems flow away.

Quite honestly, I have stomach churning if I may go to a \'happy clappy\' church. I\'m afraid, for example, some may start dancing, and I will feel left out and embarrassed for not dancing.
We don\'t have to dance though. But I like other elements of that type of worship, etc.

I wish the only thing that haunted you was my singing! (heehee).
Is the anxiety lessened if you keep busy and occupied? But not to have a frenzy of activity either, in \'covering up\' the anxiety.

Good Morning ~ Sister Christine thanks for a very poignant poem and sharing some of your anxieties with your MPS Friends. My advice has always been Spiritual ~ Pray ~ Count Your Blessings and I am praying for you 24/7. I am pleased you can trust us Chris and feel free to share your anxieties ~ Read Psalm 23 ~ I am sure it will help @ this time and ask your Church group to pray for you. We have a Prayer Chain in our Church and it really does work. Always remember that \"Underneath You and Round About You ~ are the Precious Arms of JESUS ~ AMEN !\" Spiritual HUGS ~ TUS HERMANOS BRIAN & ANGELA @@@@@@@

I have similar, though lesser, experiences of this. Maybe if we can pinpoint just what it is that is causing us to be anxious. It may not the be immediate thing. It may be something future, or even past.
Meanwhile - Ohh I tried holding my breath 24 hours one day. Erm, I did not feel very well for it! Heehee.

Thanks CHRIS for a lovely poem and a great tribute to your GRAN ! WOW 103 My Gran is only 86 and I thought she was old ! Love the \"rhyming couplets\" and the memories you share of Her Faith & Love. In my experience the longer People live ~ the sadder their departure when it comes ~ and she has been there for you ~ every day of your LIFE ! Hugs BRIAN @@@@@@@
