I don't know about you but sometimes being an emet and having to deal with everything that comes with it can be overwhelming. I know when I'm faced with the threat of V* my mind can on focus is on escaping from that threat. Outside of the panic I like to see clearly and focus on living rather than worrying. Its hard but thats how I try to deal with the almost constant fear. So I thought it might be nice to have a place where we can come when things get us down a bit and take stock of what life is about.


Maybe post song lyrics or poems or even quotes that are inspiring to us so that others may benefit from them.


Here is one poem that I turn to when I have a panic attack to leet me know that its nota complete set back - and that I may have taken a step back but I'm still a lot further along the path to recovery than I was...


Bend in the Road


Sometimes wecome to life's crossroads


And view what we think is the end,


But God has much a wider vision


And He knows it is only a bend-


The road will go on a nd get smoother


And after we've stopped for a rest,


The path that lies hidden beyond us


Is often the one that is best.


So rest and relax and grow stronger,


Let go and share your load


And have faith in a brighter tomorrow-


You have come to a bend in the road.
