Hi all, it's been a long time since I checked in, but I'm sure that everyone here can relate when I say the current event (I dont even like to say it) is sending my anxiety into overdrive. It's gotten so bad that I dont sleep well, I dont eat much, my chest constantly feels tight, the vertigo is back, my head aches and I just generally feel unwell. Most days I spend all day in my room. Although we are on lockdown my husband's job still requires him to go out and I'm going crazy. I try to stay strong and keep cool for my children but every day I cry to myself. I'm just so worried and depressed.

Hi Nellebutter,

I am sorry you are feeling anxious and depressed. But I can't say that I blame you for worrying. Especially if your husband's job is essential.

I am sure you are trying to stay calm for the children. And I think crying is natural for what is going on and what you are going through.

Last year (winter) I was getting vertigo and had migraine headaches. I would wake up with them, but it was from my sinuses. I am having a little sinus trouble this year but no headaches yet or vertigo. I really feel for you because I know what you are going through with that.

Keep hanging in there, you really are doing good for what you are going through. Try to relax as much as possible. I know that is hard with children. Do something nice for yourself. Maybe a bubble bath.

Hugs, Karen...

Hi Nell. The current event(s) are driving me nuts like you and a zillion other folks. I think you're handling it better than you think. Just to exert the time and energy to send a note and share your feelings takes strength and resolve. So many of us feel like you do. Our life's circumstances are probably somewhat different and certainly we are different. It's painful for me; it's painful for us. I think you're doing a good job.
Compliments to you,
Mike
