Hand hold please if anyones around

[Honey1975]

DH has gone for hospital appointment for something concerning. I am petrified. I have no coping mechanisms whatsoever. I think the worst, my heart is pounding. I've been crying on and off for 2 days and can't eat. This is before we even know anything!
Is it possible to learn how to deal with life's tough moments without completely falling apart. I've got 2 children to look after for goodness sake! I just don't know how to deal with this horrendous anxiety.

Handhold, breathe, I'm here (and other people are).

It's natural to freak out a little. It's a fraught time.

Try not to panic too much until you know more, nice cup of tea

Thank you Languid I haven't told anyone in real life which is really hard. I know how nervous he is. I just love him so much & i haven't always shown it😟

I think it's ok to fall apart a bit sometimes - we can't always put on a façade.

Hopefully he'll be ok, snuggle up with the kids, you should know more about his condition soon.

It really is ok to have a little cry, he knows you love him

I feel I can't tell my friends as they have children that know mine and I don't want there to be any chance if them hearing anything from someone else.
I thought he'd be done by now but he hasn't texted and I'm just so upset. I wish I was a stronger person than this.

Fingers, toes and absolutely everything else crossed for you, OP. Wishing you all the very best xxxxx

Handhold, OP. Can you try and deal with things in five minute chunks? Bath the DC?

Seems like you need a distraction at the moment. Like a nice meal, music/tv, you'll find out shortly what the prognosis is.

Don't feel bad about yourself for being upset :)

It's nothing to do with not being strong. Anxiety and jumping to the worst case scenario is normal in situations like this. I hope he gets good news.

distraction is the key atm. Hope it’s good news op.

Just because you've not heard anything yet don't assume the worst. The clinic could be running really late. Try to distract yourself work the kids dinner or something.

Hope it's good news.

He's back and all is well. It's taught me I need to treasure my family more and show him I love him. Anxiety & low mood often make me a miserable person and I take it out on DH. I need to address this & just hope I can.
Now time for wine!
Thank you so much for your supportive words x

Wine, wine and more wine. Give him a big hug. Glad you got good news.

Glad all is well, relax tonight x

Thank you x

Great news, now chill!

Ahhh brilliant! So glad for you, OP!!!!
