Bad night

A.L. -- I am not sure I have anything useful to tell you, but I have been where you are -- including very recently -- and I know it is a very tough spot -- not made any easier by a husband who has "better things to do" than help his wife through a difficult time. I hope you can find a way to get a good night sleep, by relaxing in whatever way works for you (warm bath, listening to music, breathing exercises, or, I suppose, a pill). If you get a decent night sleep, you will probably feel better in the morning. Best wishes, Medved

Hi AL,

I am really sorry to hear about your rough time tonight. It is bad enough when anxiety finds us...but then our brains betray us and go along with it looking for more! ;(

Situational anxiety, such as the type triggered by and even (the phone call) can usually be driven away quickly, like it came on, if you can use those coping skills as Medved suggested, right away.

If you need some more ideas, you can take a look into the Resoureces, and maybe check out the videos there. (subjects: meditation and how to stop a panic attack.)

Know that we understand and are here to listen and cheer you on towards feeling better.

Sending ecouragement and positive thoughts and prayers!

S.C.

Hey Annabelle. Sorry to hear you're having a tough night.

Would you like to share your anxieties and maybe we can help calm the thoughts? If you aren't comfortable sharing that it's fine. The best advice I can recommend is a bubble bath!

It makes me sleepy and it relaxes me. I know it's not always the best remedy for everyone but whatever you can do to relax. :)

Good luck!
