High Anxiety

Thursday, Dec. 20th

Have you ever known someone or you yourself with high anxiety?  I mean the point to where you can't let something go until you have had closure or at least some kind of ending? I haven't until now.  My 11 yr old has anxiety (I didn't realize it was catagorized as that) but now I know.  I'm not one to understand it or deal with it but I'm trying.  If you're dealing with the person yourself or through someone that has a friend it's trying to the attitude and to the person.  It wears you out and it makes you feel that you have been put through the ringer!!! I try not to yell at Jeremiah or scream at him but he doesn't make it easy. He has been working on his Christmas list to Santa Claus since LAST WEEK!  Plus the things on it it probably won't be obtained.  Jeremiah is so FIXATED on the the list he's crying on finishing it!!! Ugh!!!

If you have any ideas on how to deal with or have dealt with someone with anxiety PLEASE give me some pointers on how to deal with them.

Today we had to start school later this afternoon.  We actually helped at the food bank where my MIL attends church and is head of the food bank.  It was good and bad at the same time.  You know when someone is either talking about you or they're talking about someone when they whisper to someone else something and they change it to where they are not talking about someone (that's what they said).  I don't like that! That's just so stupid! These ladies may not like the way the MIL runs things but if they don't like it then they step up and run the department! They shouldn't be talking if they aren't willing to manage the department. Stupid.  I hate people like that! Ugh!!!
