I had a very messed up life, starting in childhood and all the way up. Have lived constantly with depression and panic attacks. I don't know howI started doing needlework because no one in my family ever did. It and prayer has been my salvation. I can focus my mind on it and all problems disappear for awhile. Thank God and meds and needlework.

Amen! Karendenice, you and I have lived parallel lives. Quilting has pulled me up from many a dark hole!
I know that quilting and yoga are therapy; they have allowed me to reduce the meds. Yoga is great and it helps me stretch out the kinks that I sometimes get when I sit too long and quilt or piece.
