ABitWrong is in trouble again

Getting worse and worse. This morning it felt like I had things crawling up me but there was nothing there.
I have chest pains left over from panic attacks.
Also been having hot flushes and now my kidneys are aching. Is this all just stress?

Apart from MNing, what are you up to yourself right now?

Do you want handholding, or distracting?

I don't know. I just want to feel better

Can you visualise your pain as something separate from yourself? Watch it move away from you?

Which would help more? mental or physical?

Can the kids get themselves to bed? What actually needs doing?

Stress can manifest in physical symptoms so in answer to OP question it is possible.

Have they had tea? Then they dont need anything.

Try not to think about ther bigger picture right now, just concentrate on what you need to do right now. If nothing needs doing then stay here.
Washing up/tidying can wait.

Are they old enough to be left alone for a few minutes? Maybe a walk round the block deep breathing or on the garden just to calm youself might help?

(sorry, laptop battery died)

I'm not very good at this, sorry.
How long have you been bad today?

If you could get the kids to bed then that might help clear your head a bit. Can you sling them some milk or something and send them up?

if they go up their dad will come down and its too early, he will shout

Ok. Them being hungry is nothing to do with you though, it's just kids being normal so don't fret at that. Let them have some cereal or something that is easy for you to keep them quiet.

Is he working tonight then? Do you have anyone in RL you can call to come round for you?
