Need Some Support

am sorry to hear this. try and take things slowly. deep breathing, slow through the nose and exhale through the mouth. do this a few times. best thing for me is distraction therapy, mine is music. knw that we are here for you.

SIB,

One thing I noticed in your post, is you said you were run ragged. You need to find time or MAKE time to relax and time just for you. When I was seeing a Therapist, she suggested something that makes me happy. Aromatherapy works wonders if you still need to work while you're struggling for down time. Light a candle? Play some Meditation music?

Stress in my life leads to most of my anxiety. I have 2 boys who sometimes drain me of everything I have, but I love them dearly, but without time for ourselves, we sometimes lose track of what we like, what makes us "Tick" And what we need.


Also, they have alot of nice helpful things listed in a sticky above the forum here that has helped me. Try traditional chinese music, instrumental? Life is so fast paced, sometimes we have to force ourselves into the slow lane and look at the scenery. ;)

Here's wishing for you to have a nice peaceful non taxing day soon! Good luck.
