I'm having trouble with crying at work again. I just filled out the short sale paperwork for my house and I am scared they will reject it even though the agent working with me said they have always gotton them to go through. I'm afraid I'll be the one with bad luck who is just rejected. I'm scared we won't find some one to buy the house. I'm just scared right now of everything.

Fear is our greatest enemy. I know the feeling - I am sitting at work, not worrying about anything, but one small thing will make me get emotional - we are on the edge.
Try to take deep breaths and GET UP AND MOVE! I find that, if I can force myself, getting up and walking around - or finding something active to do will help me through it. Sitting at a desk just makes it worse sometimes. Good luck with the paperwork, I'm sure it will be fine.

I am looking forward to yoga in the work gym in 15 minutes if I can make it that far. Its not too long. I'll feel better after yoga. And my boss told me we are allowed to go home early.
I completed all the paperwork it wasn't so bad. I want to get the short sale approved so someone will buy the house and I can stop having to pay this high mortgage. I don't think I can handle having to wait several more months for the house to sell.

Pam,

You are being pro-active and doing all of the right moves to sell. I am sorry that it has taken this long, but hopefully the short sale status will move things along.

Great job on choosing to do something healthy for yourself today!! Have a great yoga class.

Let us know how it goes with the paperwork/filing, okay?

Thanks. I feel better but still had to cry in the rest room for a few minutes.

I woke up and was crying again this morning. I took my medication and played with my dogs but it didn't help very much. I tried breathing exercises too and telling myself everything will be alright but I still feel terrible. I think I've been having mild panic attacks in the mornings again. I don't know what to do to calm down and hopefully feel better. Please help me

Have you tried a guided meditation video? Perhaps getting really outside of all of the stressors could help.

These videos are like little mini vacations if you can let go of the outside world for a few minutes...and give in completely to the moment of being in a relaxed state.

We have one in our Resources, which is good...and there are many on youtube which you could also check out.

If you need me to post links, let me know and I will, okay?

Hugs, peace and comfort,

S.C.

could you post links please?

Here you go...a couple to start with. You may want to search your own out as well (you can use the sidebar suggestions for these) as everyone has different tastes. (reading the comments, I found some people liked the guy's voice from the first video, some did not)

Thanks I'll try them.
I woke up at 3 am and did breathing exercises until I woke up again at 5:30. I did 15 minutes of breathing exercises and got up, but started crying 5 minutes later and kept trying to calm down the entire commute. I took 1 mg of lorazepam instead of 0.5. I feel less like crying now. But I still feel uneasy. This stupid shortsale and job. I keep thinking I'm doing all of these exercises why can't I calm down!

Buying/selling a house and a move are some of life's bigger stressors!

Add that to trying to work full time, having concerns about money and all of the other details of life in general, and you have a pretty full plate.

Sometimes it helps to just realize that we have reasons to be stressed, and we can then accept the feelings...which often will free us from more anxiety due to trying to fight it.

If crying is your natural response to feeling stressed...so be it. Let the tears come, and don't worry about what anyone else thinks. There are negative ways that people deal with their stress (from bottling it up)...you are letting yours out in a postive way if you think about it.:)

I hope that you can find some relief in the meditation. Keep up the good work, and have a day full of peace.

Thank you. I'll try the guided meditation links tonight

I didn't get to the guided meditation last night. But I didn't cry very much this morning. It was only a couple of tears.
I saw some apartments yesterday and really want to move out of my house.

You are moving pro-actively towards getting to where you need to be.:)

I am glad that this morning was a little better for you.

I know it is hard to feel stuck in this 'holding pattern'. It is very stressful, when you are just ready to be done with the process that seems to be dragging on...

You will get there, this won't last forever, and you will make your sale and move. Hang in there.

Sending positve thoughts your way!

I agree with Reepin. Try to get up and get moving when you are feeling that way. I find that if I am busy and my mind is occupied, I worry a lot less. I know sometimes it is easier said than done. Good luck to you. wink
