Sean and I have had quite the roller coaster of a year. We are still very involved with Disciples Church and are amazed by God's provision and faithfulness. I am now a Behavior Consultant and I absolutely love my job and feel legit that I have a career.
In June Sean was in a pretty bad road bike accident and I was diagnosed with anxiety. For two months I thought I was dying and didn't know what was happening. I wasn't sleeping or eating, I had trouble with social interactions, and I was in a great deal of physical pain. I went to the ER twice because of panic attacks before I realized what it was. Its horrible. Their are no words to describe the horrible, nagging, constant sense of doom and the panic attacks literally make me feel like I am dying. I had chest pain, felt like I was choking, stomach problems, headaches, heart palpitations, tingling, muscle spasms and muscle pain. But God is teaching me so much through all of this. I am learning to rely and trust in him like never before. I have come a long way over the last six months thanks to tranquilizers, anti-depressants, therapy, and mostly God. It is still a daily struggle but when I think back to June I feel like a different person. I am worrying less. although I still think I am dying pretty frequently.
In August Sean got a new job. He really enjoys it. He no longer has to wake up at 3am which makes me happy. We went to his work christmas party last night. I met everyone and had a very good time.
In September I was rear-ended on my way to work. My car was totaled and I had whip-lash, soft tissue damage, and my pelvis shifted. I am almost done with my rehabilitation. My neck hurts every once in awhile but otherwise I feel back to normal.
In October I was promoted to consultant. I got a raise and a lot more responsibility and am amazed at how much I love my job.
This week Sean's step mom passed away. I feel bad for his dad. I can't imagine what it would be like to lose my spouse.
Like I said, roller coaster.
I am excited for the upcoming year. A new year seems like a fresh start.
