Okay to great. In between.

I have to write my stepmother a Mother’s Day card and I view her more as my mother than a stepmother. She in no way replaced my mother, I just love them both dearly and I’m trying to let my stepmother know that the stepparent name doesn’t mean a thing to me. If that makes sense.

Why a panic attack occurs when there is no apparent thing to panic about.

I can only speak for myself but for me a support group doesn’t always have to focus on things that arise from a diagnosis. Sometimes it’s nice to just shoot the sh** about work, friends, kids, worries, a planned vacation, whatever, with people you have commonality with. I’m a vet and some people go to VA medical center not because they have an appointment but to just talk about the engine problem their car has or how a person lost their purse. It’s not the topic it’s the comfort you have with speaking about what you want without the worry of judgement.

Tell myself you need to check in with yourself.
