I am going to be taking a skinning break

Anderea, take all the time you want or need. We'll be here when your ready to return. Glad you can now do all the things you want without feeling enclosed.

I am sorry to be missing you for some time, but I am glad that it is because you are onto something good.

One word of caution, though... don't get so caught up in catching up that you burn out. That happened to me. When I found that I could have it ... I tried to get it all. Found myself working 60+ hours, taking senior and graduate level courses at the university... Then I crashed big time. Make sure to sleep plenty, keep well rounded.

Good for you, Keila!
Take time for you and yours first. Then when time permits, you'll be able to work in the idle pleasure of skinning and such.

Thanks guys
When the time comes that I come up with an idea or something I will take it slow instead of working on it constantly.
GM, I do not work right now. That is one of the things I am hoping to be able to do again soon. Just something to do. I wouldn't even care about pay I just would love to have a job and be out of the house more again. Baby step, yes. That's why I have not jumped into it yet. If I were to do too much at once I could back slide. I am fortunate that sleep has never been a problem for me though.

Please make sure you keep in touch and dont stop skinning completely.We cant afford to lose any of our lady skinners.

Keila -
Sorry to hear that you'll be gone for a while, but you need to take care of yourself. I too suffer from panic/anxiety disorder ( for many years now) At one point years ago my life was at a standstill, I was afraid of EVERYTHING. It started to seriously affect my job and home life. Medication unfortunately did not work for me, it only made me more axious. What DID help, was when on one of my frequent trips to the hospital emergency room (thinking for sure I was dying), one smart, caring Doctor said to me: "Cris, you've been here so much, we all know you by now. I feel you are suffering from axiety disorder and I have done some research for you and found you a self help group". Boy, did that change my life!! I met twice a week with 20 or so other people just like me, and we all helped each other working thru our fears. Keila -if you ever want to talk or if I can help in any way, let me know and Ill give you my email add. Take care and be strong.

If you need anything at all, we will be here for you.

Keila, bless you girl. Sounds like "the light at the end of the tunnel". Best Wishes and praying for you. Please take care of you....

Breaks are good....[except in bones]...

I'm off, too....for a few days of keeping an eye on the antics of MotoGP riders like Valentino and Mad Max around Phillip Island [my 'other' job]....

Let's hope we all return refreshed and invigorated.....

Keila, no worries If you need someone to talk to I will be there for you. I always have loved your creativity and feel the sensitiveness in you. Good to hear you are moving forward. Keep your hands to the sky and know that the universe protects you.

Thank you so much all of you for your very kind comments. This all really make me feel like a big part of this site.

Big hugs to all of you.

Keila, having a break sounds wonderful. Stress can do numbers on ya. Hope ya feel better. There are other stuff to do than sitting by the comp. Take care yourself.

Women are strong.

We'll miss your beautiful work...come back soon.
Or don't, whatever works for you.

I'm told I need to get away from my computer too...At least you're doing something about it, unlike me. Taking a break will make you feel so much better about yourself. Have all the time you need. Just don't forget about us!

Well, I am bring this thread back up with some good news
The meds have worked wonderfully and I am going to be able to go out and work again. I am starting off on something slow so as to not have to many bad memories of bad experiences come back.
As you might have seen i took time to update my first cursor set. I wanted it mostly for myself and thought of the idea of updating on the anniversary of it's original upload.
/me wishes there were more holidays
I may just have to make some up.

Happy Holidays Keila. Glad things are going OK for you. Start off slow. Take care.

Best of luck to you Keila. Everyone needs a break sooner or later. Just take time and breathe a little, live and laugh a little. Sometimes life can jump up out of nowhere and really throw us some curves, but thats common knowledge I guess. You'll find center again, I am sure of it.

Your very kind wishes make me feel wonderful.

Yes, I am going to take it slow. The road I am walking down now is beautiful and I am not planning on turning around.

keila - live long and prosper!

come back soon.

Won't miss ya at all. (Sniff). Not all.(Snuffle). Nope won't even know your gone.(Sniffle). O.K. I admit it, I'll miss ya a little. (whimper). Oh, alright alot! I know you'll be back though. >

It's ok Old Crab. I am not leaving just won't be skinning for a while.

/me stop coming here to talk? Never happen!

Keila.....Sounds like things are turning around for you. Great news. You are part of the Wincustomize "family" and we all love having you around even if it means that it is not as often as in the past but you are going to be the one that benefits in the long run. You certainly sound as though you have got the right attitude and together with the medication things can get even better.

a big from Leo.
