Today my husband was at court today and he got 60 hours of community service!
I'm so relieved!
The magistrates were quite sympathetic which was a nice surprise.

My mood at the moment is very flat, even though I'm glad my husband is home,I've found the whole process quite traumatic.

SC....if you could,is there any links that you could possibly give me to help with bringing my mood back up?
I need to change the way I think, I live with health anxiety and panic attacks, and I really need to get better!
Thank you xx

MSP,

First of all...this is great news for you!

However, now that it all resolved...you are bound to have a lot of feelings and exhaustion trying to take over...

...the immediate fear is relieved with the good news, but you are naturally wrung out emotionally!

I recommend the Stress Relieving Exercises from our Resources, as well as the Therapy Worksheets to help you process the myriad of thoughts/feelings you are surely going through currently.

I am not at my p.c., so if you can't find them...I will post links for you when I get back home.:)

Rest and recover from your ordeal!

Hi MSP

I was just wondering how things went thanks for checking in I am pleased to hear it was a favourable verdict.

I'm not surprised you are feeling a bit down court cases are very stressful for all involved I had a court case a few years ago and the whole process took a year and half and is probably the most stressful thing I have went through.

It's going to take a few days to settle so double up on any self help you have and do check the resources for some good links.

I hope you can cheer up because this is something to smile about ! :)

Hi guys!

Thanks for the replying!

I'm still struggling a little today as I'm so tired, my 11 month old is teething so that's not helping.
I seem to have developed some kind of separation anxiety over my husband now,as he went to the shops and I had a full blown panic attack because I had thoughts of him being in an accident and never seeing him again!

I'm hoping to find a why to get around this!

Has anyone here suffered from separation anxiety??
It's awful!

You have been through a lot! So, it's not s uprising that you are having these worries.

Another thing I am thinking, is that your subconscious may be worried that your husband may have a repeat slip, and you therefore are more comfortable with him near, where you are in control of things...

Have you talked, and has he reassured you that this is never going to happen again? You may need to actually hear these words spoken.

I hope that things at the for you soon...attend that you get some sleep as well! Keep using your coping skills to get you through.

Thoughts and prayers,

S.C.

I have no doubt in my mind that he will be on the right side of the law in future!
It really shook him up!
I think it's because of his heart problems,that I worry something would happen to him, but I worry for all of my family.

My father was a worrier so I think he's passed his genes onto me!!
I really want to find the strength to get this anxiety under control again!
As it wastes days of your life...

Oh, I did not realize he has a heart problem... I am sorry to hear this.:(

Making sure that he is keeping up with his doctors and healthy habits should see him doing just fine.:)

This recent threat of his possibly going away just triggered this fear for you naturally. It will fade with time.

Hugs,

He had a heart attack at age 26 and he is 38 now.
So I think I'll always worry about him.
But I do hope the fear will subside a little.
I wouldn't wish it on anyone!! xx
