Back in July I had a family reunion in West Virginia. Since one of my cousins was staying with my grandfather and I, my grandfather drove up and my cousin drove home. On the way home I had a small panic attack because it was getting dark. I took my medicine an hour early to get my behavior ones in me quicker, but I was still freaking out. I tried listening to my iPod on my iPhone, but my phone was going dead. So, when I got home I tried to take a half of one of my behavior medicines, but I had to take the other half also. After taking the whole pill I started to feel better.

On Saturday August 14th I was at a potluck in Maryland and it was getting dark before I left. I started to get scared, so I took my med a half an hour early and I started to feel a little better. When we left, luckly my IPhone was charged so I listened to my IPod on it. I also took an extra half of one of my meds that I had with me. I also had something to hold that I felt secured with. I did a lot better on Saturday than back in July.

I went to my mom's yesterday through this evening to dogsit. I was suppose to come back to my grandfather's on Thursday but my mom didn't need me for tomorrow so I came back tonight. While I was waiting for the bus to goto the metro, I had a small panic attack again. I had my extra medicine, but not a drink. I was talking to someone while waiting for the bus and she let me
me borough some water to take my medicine. I also was listening to my IPod on my IPhone.

Back in March I had 2 panic attacks with in a week apart. The 1st one was on Shove Tuesday at church. It started getting dark and that's when I started to panic. A couple of my church members was leaving, so I asked them if they can take me home because I forgot to put extra Zoloft in my purse and needed to take one. They said yes. Once I got home and took my extra Zoloft I felt better. Then when Melanie came to Virginia for the weekend a week after Shrove Tuesday. I went to Bobby's house. We thought Melanie was coming over in the afternoon on that Friday, but she was staying in a hotel in Manasses and got stuck in traffic on 66. She went back to the hotel and Bobby and I didn't meet up with until 8:00 that night at a mall. When we met up I started to Panic. It also was my evening meds time. I take 2 of my behavior meds twice a day, so I was hoping those 2 meds was going to help me calm down from panicinh, but it didn't. I ended up taking my extra Zoloft at 9:30 that night with a regular coke, which I use regular cokes to calm me down when I'm in a stressful bind. Melanie took Bobby and me home. I didn't get home until a little after midnight. Then I couldn't goto sleep at all the whole night.

I finely put the puzzle pieces together about why I Panic at night. It's because since my brain surgery for my seizures I also became partially blind and at nighttime I can't see that well in the dark. That's why I panic at night. I emailed my optometrist and he said some people have a hard time seeing at night because the eyes can't focus that well at night. He also said that some people wear different prescriptions for the nighttime. He also said that my current prescription glasses have me seeing 20/20, but if I still feel concerned then come see him for a follow up to recheck my prescription through dilated pupils. I have an appt to see him on Monday.

Let me have some good news now.

For the past couple days I've been getting new spring/summer sheets to swap off and on with the ones I have now. I also had to get another allergy mattress cover because my zipper broke on one of my old ones. I got the spring/summer sheets at Target yesterday and hung out with Bobby afterwards. We watched a Batman movie.

Then today I got some new flannel sheets from Macy's to swap off and on with the ones I have now. I also had to go back to Target to get some more storage bins. I have one already, but it's not big enough for all of my sheets.

I wanted to get some extra sheets to swap with my currant ones because I let my dogs get on my bed and I think I'm allergic to them because every time I get in bed to goto sleep I start having an itching attack because my dogs shed on my bed.

I also had to goto Petsmart yesterday to get another lent roller. Also while I was at Target yesterday I got some Yugio cards.

I don't know why I thought of this the other day, maybe because I had a sub pastor yesterday and it happened with him one time.

Last February 2011, I had three stressful things happen to me in one week between Monday and Saturday. It was the week of the 7th-12th. On the 13th during church service I ended up crying in the middle of the service.

Then last July 2011, I had three more stressful things happen to me in one week between Monday and Saturday. It was the week of the 4th-9th. On the 10th during church service I ended up crying again in the middle of the service.

My friends says it was the spirit coming out on me since it was on Sundays after I had a stressful week that I started crying.

Last month I got anti reflection on my lenses. My prescription didn't change and I still have transitionals too. Since I've had the anti reflection I have not had a panic attack at night anymore. I am very proud of myself now.

I have overcome a ton of obstacles lately. I have finally been coming pain free. I have been getting stronger in my legs to the point I don't need my splints anymore. I have overcome most of my fears. It's been a long road to go down and I'm still going down that road. For once I am very proud of myself for my accomplishment that I have made. I have 3 qoutes I'm following: If I persevere I will succeed, Patients is a vertue, Practice makes perfect.
