I'm sorry Bam, I wish I could do chat with you atm but I'm leaving in just a few to take our dog to vet for shots. :(

Why can't you watch a mindfulness video with your son there? Put him in front of some toys for a few minutes and watch one if you can. There is a really short 3 minute video on the resources.

You are going thru so much, I don't blame you for anxiety, but you do need to try your coping skills. It takes nothing to do some deep breathing even with your youngster there.

Bam,

You have been here before, and gotten through it. This time is no different.

This is panic and a physiological reaction to stress...nothing more. It can't hurt you.

You can and will get through this again...let it pass.

How about putting on some music, and dancing around with your boy? Or just sit on the floor, and play with him.

Find any activity that you and he can do together that will take your focus off of this.
