stress management, my blessing

Hi everyone, A special hello to angleit's, if you want some pointers on stress management just e-mail me and I will be more then happy to let you know what I have learned through the class. That is an invitation to anyone who may want some helpfull information on stress o.k.? I have been less stressed then I was two years ago, this class has really opened my eyes and has given me some controll over my life again, not as much as I would like, but some is better then none. I call my stress management class my blessing or better yet my guradian angle in disgise. I have my moments and days where the things I try do not work but inall most of the time I can usually calm my thoughts pretty quickly. I still feel alone and in the way of my family and boyfriend, I feel as though I hold them back from a better life if it were'nt for my disability. I find myself hiding the days that I don't feel well, avoid people or I am real quiet and stay to myself, my boyfriend does not like it when I keep things from him. He understands why but still gets a bit testy with me. I finally talked with my mom last night for the first time in three months, it felt good too hear her voice but I could still sense some distance for what ever reason I am not sure on. I did tell my oldest sister that I have been concerned about something that is not normal for me. I have been noticing my feet and legs up to my ankles and just about two inches above my ankles have been swelling and at night I notice my feet turn a red and blueish color. I am not sure yet what to think of this and am trying too keep it from others in my family. I do not want to be the reason they are stressing too much when they already have enough to worry about. Hope to hear from thoes of you who may want to know more about my stress management class that I went too recently or even just to say hello too me. I do really enjoy getting e-mails from people in here, it gives me a feeling of peace and also someone else to talk too other then my traylor walls. Bye for now, Stay safe every one and be happy.
