Anxiety support, Hand hold or chit chat come say hi #2

[Fairydust26]

Hi everyone this is part 2 as the original thread is full up! But as the title says this thread is support for all that are struggling and could do with a handhold and a chit chat so come and say hello😊.

Menalight I've also had it for years. I do find it eventually goes away when I slow down my breathing. Sometimes I even massage my rib. But stress will eventually bring it back.

Yes, yes, the rib massaging! i do it all the time. It used to go away once i've dealt with whatever caused the anxiety, but now it lingers on and on.

@vinkinglady hello and welcome. My DS is still ignoring me. I'm doing okay, until I sleep that is.
Doing my 3rd park run tomorrow morning. It helps.
Checked out the damage to my car today as well. It's not too bad thank God.

Hi vikingwoman

I get a similar pain under my rib on the right side. It's more of a sharp pain though. I've had it for years. When I went to the GP last year, they didn't seem that bothered and said it's probably just a pulled muscle not helpful

On another note, I went through the effort of making pizza from scratch for my DC. Did he eat it? Of course not. Fish fingers and peas it is then 🙄

Bippity that's so typical after all the effort. Myself and DS used to love making pizzas together.

To be fair, he's only 2 and half, but he usually loves pizza. I'm guessing only the pepperoni kind. I had the audacity to put peppers and mushroom on it.

He's actually been quite good with his eating today though. He's had about 4 portions of fruit and veg. I always try and aim for 5, and when he doesn't, I don't know, I seem to feel a bit anxious about it.

Scrap that. He's had 5. Forgot he had the peas! Ok, I feel less anxious about that. I know it sounds ridiculous and I'm probably being a bit OTT.

bippity since I had my final 3(have an older one as well) I got what I can only describe as obsessive about child nutrition.they do eat biscuits etc but only if the goodness has been eaten first.aim at least 5a day,rainbow of colours etc.to me it's a kinda reflection of my love for them that I feed them well and hopefully am protecting them from illnesses as get older?ironically at mo illest kids I knowdd2 has had awful issues her ears and throat a few years,finally diagnosed as silent reflux,D's has anxiety issues and youngest(lil zoo) has gut problemsplus food allergies....

Pouring with rain I promised lil zoo could trial a dance class today,so we are off out shortly.hope everyone has a good day!

Morning ladies hope you all have a smashing day! This thread hasn’t got that much longer till it’s full up would you like me to make a 3rd one when the time comes? It’s been super comforting to me and others so it would be great if the support could continue😊.

Yes please fairy. I love this thread.

Good morning all and yes please Fairy

Yes that would be great

I know Stilllivinginazoo I'm the same. I just want him to have a healthy balanced diet, and enjoy a whole range of foods.

I don't want him to be like me who hates onions and peppers. Honestly, I wish I didn't hate onions as it's such a pain in the arse. It's in everything! So most times I just end cooking from scratch so I know exactly what's in it.

Count me in for another thread please fairy
Bippity❤️

Had a lovely weekend with my sister. My parents have gone away and my sister doesn't like staying in the house alone. (We used to think the place was haunted as kids. I don't like staying there alone myself.) Feeling good today.
Also got a PB in the parkrun yesterday. 36.05 minutes...Go me.

Yay blink!

Count me in for the new thread too please Fairy 👍

Iblinked so glad to hear you've had a good day and well done on the PB! 🏅

Welcome Hurricane

Wingingit1985 I was 6 days overdue with mine so I feel your pain😩!

Will deffo be making a new thread soon welcome to our newbies😊 hope you’ve all had a good weekend and sending positive vibes for the week ahead.

Wingingit Oh gosh, I remember when I was almost 2 weeks over due with my dc. Funnily enough he decided to make an appearance on the day of my induction although he still wasn't born until 2 days later!

Hi Hurricane

Welcome hurricane

I'm in so much pain Hurt my knee again (on going problem) and it's swollen up and bruised on the side. I can barely put any weight on it. Stuck in bed as I can't move. Really don't want to go to a&e.

Oh bippity, that sounds awful. Poor you.
I wouldn't be able to cope stuck in bed.

I don't know what to do. I've been to a&e before, just over a month ago and it turned out I had just sprained it. This time it feels worse, but I don't want to waste 4 hours in a&e again to find out it's only a sprain.

Plus I live at a top flat (no lift) so god knows how I'll manage to get down the stairs. I'm in agony.
