Could use advice dealing with this

I'd suggest taking the weekend to yourself. Send your little furry friends to a local daycare and just try your best to relax. It's harder than it sounds for people with anxiety, but not impossible. One easy fix to relax me is lavender. I put lavender oil in EVERYTHING. Baths, heating pads, my pillow, even straight on to my wrist and neck areas like perfume. Also Theeves oil is a godsend, believe me.
Other relaxation techniques I've learned over the years include things as simple as blowing on your thumb or breathing in for five seconds, holding it for two, and breathing out for five to things like the cliches like baths and candles. Sometimes it's hard to just unwind. Sometimes life happens and ruins everything but you owe it to yourself to relax every now and then. As of right now, I'd suggest laying down with a good movie. One you've seen so many times it's become mindless. I've noticed that by watching a new movie makes you think about so many things, when we try to relax, we don't WANT to think. Also Sudoku and logic problems have also proven to help me. When I need to relax DESPERATELY, like when i feel like my world is caving in, I go on a drive. Driving has always made me feel at piece. Leave your phone and all of your worries at home, and go drive around for like twenty minutes (I wouldn't drive if you're feeling like you may become hysterical or if you've been crying. Safety first, friend!). I hope you find the time to relax before you become any more overwhelmed. Us who suffer from problems like this find it impossible to ever feel at peace, and I believe that the reason we think that way, is because somewhere deep down we're scared. We're scared because we always feel stressed and upset and feeling any different makes us feel beside ourselves, but you deserve to be at peace. I'm rooting for you. I bet your puppy's whining so much because he doesn't like seeing his mommy/daddy so upset. Good luck!
