im feeling so anxious :(

Hi...

I am here for a little while...

How are you feeling? Do you have the t.v./radio on?

How about calling friends? Also, if you schedule your hours alone to the last minute, it might help.

Breaking the time down so that you don't have big chunks of time without busy activities can be hard. Make yourself an itinerary.:)

Did you check in with chat? There should be some activity starting in there soon since it is close to after work hours. (at least here in the states)

I am sending positive thoughts your way.:)

Sorry if that was confusing...This is an example of what I meant.

Make a schedule something like this: (this is assuming you are alone in the evening with your little one)

6:00-6:30 Play games
6:30-7:00 Paint/color/crafts
7:00-8:00 Dinner and clean up
8:00-900 read stories/bedtime (for little one)
9:00-10:00 Computer games/Facebook/HW, ect..
10:00-10:30 Decompression/stress relief exercises/yoga
10:30-11:00 Read

This is of course just an example. You will have to make your own...but you may find comfort in the structure., and it may help the time seem less open ended....and help you not to stress over thoughts like "What am I going to do for the next 5 hours?!?"

Hope it helps :)
