Hate waiting, please talk me down

[FloorWipes]

So I don't do good with uncertainty and changing plans.

Today I had to wait in for grandparents to bring back DD and my DM to bring back the dog. I didn't know what time they were coming at all and they came in the opposite order to what I anticipated. I really struggled to do anything while waiting as I felt anxious and on edge.

Now my DH is out at a gig with friends which must have finished but I haven't heard from him and he hasn't answered messages and isn't picking up the phone. I don't care if he stays out all night but I just need to know.

Right now I feel so bad. I am physically trembling.

Help please.

Well I'm presuming you trust them with your child and dog correct?Bc if not you wouldn't have allowed that,right?
And your husband is a whole grown man.
If you are that worried then get the whole fam on Life360.
But don't live your life like this.
Life is full of changes that will change again.And you will survive and even thrive if you choose to.😊

He's a grown man who you don't care if he's out all night

This must be exhausting for you to feel this much anxiety and isn't a logical amount of anxiety proportionate to the situation

Has something triggered you in the past? (Don't need to share) but it might be worth chatting with your GP about

You need to find something totakeyour mind off waiting.
Start a waiting project.
Something you love to do while you wait.
Do you like jigsaws?
Scrolling on a favourite site
Folding clothes
Baking a cake
Phoning a friend for a chat
Taking a bath
Cleaning out a cupboard
Wedding the vegie patch.
Choose somthing you love to do and consider
wait time as ME time.
Soon you will be wanting everyone to be late - so to have more ME time.

Be disciplined in telling your own brain that you WILL feel uncomfortable but you will survive and you will enjoy waiting.

Thanks for the responses. He did obviously return eventually. I have always been like this. There's not been any notable trigger. I have a naturally very low tolerance for uncertainty. Sometimes I am more able to manage it, but when too many things in general pile up, that coming capacity really diminishes and that's where I am now.
