Fucked off that a stranger has set back my progress with my anxiety.

[GeorgieTheGorgeousGoat]

In the summer I was diagnosed with GAD and have been doing a lot of self help plus taking herbal sleeping tablets to battle my chronic insomnia.

Literally three nights ago I stopped the sleeping tablets and have had amazing sleep due to new habits and my anxiety has significantly lowered.

Then last night someone broke in to our house. I’m a wreck and so pissed off that I’m in a worse place than I’ve ever been. It’s hideous. I’m actually worried that I’ll seriuosly crack with no sleep and the physical effects of the anxiety.

Bastards.

Oh that’s horrible. You poor thing.

That would make anyone anxious as fuck. Did you call police etc? Can you plan increased security etc?

I'm sorry that happened to you. A similar thing has happened to me this year but with a neighbour not a burglar, so I can relate. So frustrating that anxiety allows others to have such an effect on us.

We have reported it yes, Dh is actually a police officer, the irony is not lost on me!

Something similar happened to me, I am still hacked off years later.

You need to accept that anyone and everyone would be affected by that and give your self time to get over it, then reinstate your good habits again.

Bloody bastards though

I know and I am feeling quite a bit better today, thank you for the kind words.

I had a stiff drink before bed last night (I’m a lightweight and it always knocks me out!) and slept quite well considering.
