Hello,

It's been a while since I've been on the chat. I've been busy at work and trying to maintain somewhat of a romantic life that's moving very very slow. I'm currently visiting my family in California and the first 3 days were great but yesterday and today I've felt sad and anxious. Part of me knows that I could be feeling this way because I have my period, have allergies and I'm leaving tomorrow to go back to NYC and leaving my brother and nephews.

I hate feeling this way, I've been doing so well lately but these past two days I've been feeling sad and hopeless. Any suggestions for me?

I'm glad you've been feeling better! ;-) Just know that this is a time where your facing a lot of change so it's likely to cause an increase in anxiety. Hormones could be to blame too. Accept it, let it pass. (hard, I know!)

Use deep breathing techniques & other strategies that you've used in the past. This is no different then any other anxiety attack/panic you have dealt with before. You have been feeling good, you'll get there again!

Hi Jazz!

I am glad that you are having a good family holiday!:)

Great advice by JPE!

I would just add that travelling, hormones and allergies combined would certainly make for an anxious state of mind. (and body!)

Using your coping techniques like JPE mentioned...and getting home and back to your routine should find you feeling better!

Keep posting and have a safe trip!
