		<description><![CDATA[I saw the pdoc yesterday.  He brought up ECT.  This morning I thought fine, let&#8217;s do this.  I&#8217;m sick of feeling the way I do.  I don&#8217;t want to try yet another med that I&#8217;ve already tried only for it to work for a month or so and then stop working. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Brian took a long lunch to drive me to the first session of my fitness class last week.  Several times during the lecture portion I nearly burst into tears and started hyperventilating, manifestations of panic attacks for me.  Luckily, closing my eyes and taking deep breaths prevented them.  It was tough, though.
I [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m not as concerned with the poetry challenge because they don&#8217;t all have to be written by tomorrow.  Participants have the entire month of December to revise the poems and then submit it [...]]]></description>

Not too bad, and who knows?  I may get into a zone and write 2 or 3 poems tonight!  Overall [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The November PAD Chapbook Challenge and NaBloPoMo, that is.  Well, sort of but not exactly.
I&#8217;ve surprised myself by blogging every single day so far this month and I&#8217;d like to keep it up for as long as I can after November.  I&#8217;m doing my best to complete NaBloPoMo, but it just may not [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I wrote a post that included a picture that said, &#8220;Do one thing a day that scares you.&#8221;  And although I agree with Heather that this probably isn&#8217;t possible for people who have really bad anxiety, it may not be practical for anybody, either.  For example, the scary thing I did yesterday [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For someone who has pretty bad anxiety, to the point where you&#8217;re almost agoraphobic, this is a good thing to do.  Still, just the thought of doing one scary thing a day causes me anxiety.  My heart starts racing a little and my mind starts racing a lot, trying to think of different [...]]]></description>

This health club holds a ton of appeal for me:  [...]]]></description>

Not only am I going to participate in Poetic Asides&#8217; 2009 November PAD Challenge, I, on impulse (surprise, surprise) decided to participate in National Blog Posting Month (NaBloPoMo) this year for the first time.  They even provide you with a nifty little widget you can put in your [...]]]></description>

Though I didn&#8217;t meet my goal, surprisingly, I&#8217;m happy about my progress.  I tried, and that&#8217;s good enough.  Thinking this way is also progress:  I&#8217;m not [...]]]></description>
