I am Stacey and I am married to a fantastic man named Mike. I have a daughter Elicia, and two dogs Akasha and Luna. With that alone my life would be great but unfortunately for the last 5 years or so I have had to live with a horrible anxiety disorder that has caused me to not only stop myself from doing exciting/interesting things, but recently it was brought to my attention that I was also stopping my beautiful daughter from being a child. The fear of her being out of my sight for more then 5 minutes can bring on a full on anxiety attack and so more often then not I try to keep her in the house where I know she is safe... This is no life for a child. So it stops NOW! <br />

<u><span style="color: red;">MY PLEDGE</span></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">1. I will no longer hide in my house fearing the worst will happen if I leave!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">2. I will no longer keep my child inside "for her own good" I will let her be a child!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">3. I will do something interesting/adventurous at least once a month.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">4. I will keep a blog of my progress and let the world help with the healing process.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">5. I will laugh more and worry less.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">6. I will not stop myself from enjoying life!</span></div>
<br />
This is a good start to my pledge and I hope I will continue to add to it and grow emotionally! I have already begun the process. I started by letting my daughter go visit her grandparents in TN over the past 2 summers and at the moment that's where she is, this is always a trying time for me as I miss her horribly and insist on hounding her and my mother daily. Letting her go for the summer these past 2 years were big steps and I am proud to say that I made it. She will be back on the 18th to start school and with a little Xanex and some support hopefully this year will be amazing! <br />
