I don't start many threads, try to reply to most but I need to start one tonight. For some reason I'm in the middle of an anxiety attack. I have my grandson today and I'm being short with him. :( Need to cook dinner in 30 minutes and don't want too. I know all the tools, but right now with my grandson here bugging me I can't watch a mindfulness video. And it's hard to do breathing when he is constantly talking and wants a reply lol. Right now he is making me a play doh pizza, he is the light of my life and I hate being this way with him here.

Guess I just need some encouraging words right now, no other real reason for my posting.

Hang in there, Lisa! It's hard to use coping skills with little ones around, so just try and take a few slow deep breaths and remind yourself that you know this will pass!

Hugs!

You are fine. Deep breaths. Deep controlled breathing really helps me in similar situations. Everything is fine, in fact, help him play with the play doh. It is probably super relaxing. I order grown up colouring books on Amazon. It is so incredibly soothing. I hope you feel better. I certainly understand, we all do.

Thanks guys, it helps to have support. Grandson is heading home and I think I'm going to watch a mindfulness video.

What is a mindfulness video is it something I can get to help

OH Yes Pee berry, mindfulness is wonderful and it helps so much. You can just go to youtube and search for mindfulness.
Here is a short 3 minute video we have in our resources thread.

Hi angel just seeing this now. I hope you are feeling better. For some reason I find dinner time trying to cook, etc can be a stressful time day. Hope you have a peaceful night.

Hi A.L.

Sorry I missed this...was out with my girls tonight.

I am very proud of and happy for you getting through this difficulty tonight!

Great job on doing your best...and I am sure your grandson did not even notice any change...we are always hardest on ourselves and assume we are not acting the way we usually do, or are being short...

...remember to cut yourself some slack, and realize you are an awesome grandma...who is human.:)

Here's to a calm and peaceful night's sleep for you...and a brighter tomorrow.

Let us know how you are doing when you can!

S.C.

Thank You everyone, I made it thru the night, slept about 10 hours and feel much better today. Some residue anxiety but nothing too bad that I can't handle. Thanks so much for all the support and encouraging words.
