I didn't mean to offend anyone with my earlier blog. I know that we should never sensor what people write or think. I said what I did because I know people hear are very sensitive to any information they are given even if its not true. I saw what was written by another member and I became instantly anxious not for myself but for all of you. I understand that we all need to talk about what happends in our day good and bad but you have to think sometimes that the things we say and howtheycan dramaticly effect another person. I don't mean talking about your bad day at work or problems you may have with loved ones or friends. I am more concerned with misinformation. For example if I told an extreamly anxious person that falling asleep anxious can kill you, it would mess them up for awhile and no matter what they read and what a dr tells them they wont sleep for days. The thought gets stuck. With that said, I'm not even going to ask. I am just simply suggesting that we think about the things we write before we write them. I changed my example in this blog 4 times because I didn't want to give anyone any crazy ideas. lol. Seems funny but I do it every time I write. I read it over and look for anything I may have said that could cause any fear of panic in the more sensitive people. Their are alot of us that rationalize things we see, read and hear and I'm sure some of us who do can remember a time when someone told you something silly that kept you anxious. I once had this girlfriend, her mother told her that a pig can flip your car (thats what she heard). What her mother actually said that a pig has a low center of gravity and if you hit one at a high speed it can in fact flip your car "head over heels". That girl believed for years if she drove by a farm and there where pigs in the field who noticed her driving by, her car would flip over. lol.

Oh great, so now I\'m going to die when I sleep? Where\'s the coffee? LOL! JUST KIDDING!!
Just wanted to say I appreciate that you wrote this and I don\'t think anyone was really offended, just concerned about others… you know how we all are. ha ha
Also, I remember when I first had anxiety and panic attacks, I thought all kinds of weird stuff and I think I even posted it as questions on here too.. people just answered matter of factly that no one dies from panic or anxiety attacks and it was all in my head. That helped me the most. Now I study it relentlessly and feel I have mastered the art of panic. Am I over it? No, but I\'m da*n good at it. Well big hugs dude and stay away from those telekinetic pigs – they sound wicked.
God Bless!
