I don't get it. I felt pretty good yesterday and worked a very busy 5 1/2 hour shift. Came home and had my grandson for the night. He woke up a couple times during the night but took a bottle and went back to sleep. So I'm tired today. I gave him a bath and played then it was time for his nap so I rocked him to sleep. I decided to nap with him. Just as I was dozing off the skipped beats started off and on then it felt like my heart was pounding and I starting getting tingling in my hands and feet and a bit of a headache. Where did that come from all of the sudden? I was ok and then BAM! Now it makes me nervous about trying to go to sleep tonight :(

MSP,

Sounds like you are phsyically tired, and the anxiety is being opportunistic.

The last couple of weeks have been pretty intense at work, right?

Then taking care of a little one...interrupted sleep and all...

...it adds up!

I think after some rest and decompressing with coping skills, you will be back to feeling your best again.

Prioritize your 'you' time this week! :)

Hi MSP.

SC has offered some good support and advice above so I just wanted to add my encouragement and hope that you got some good rest last night and wish you a good week.

As SC said, anxiety just jumps in there when you least expect it.

I have one good day, and the next I'm down. I can even have a good half day, and then I'm down. lol

Hang in there.
