The Anxiety Club (continued) !

[mooseloose]

Hi girls, i have started a new thread for us all. The other was too long. Hope you all find it.

Hope you had a great night last night mumof2000. I hope you were able to forget everything for a couple of hours and enjoy yourself. Good on you for going, your outfit sounds lovely.

What a shame your night got cancelled Yommy. At least you still got a break and an evening to do what you wanted.

I never got to go out either- my friends christmas do was on thursday night and I was busy with the girls school discos .

We finally have our christmas tree up and our livingroom is looking lovely. Things are better with dp and I but I am still feeling a bit out of sorts. Need to pull myself together!

Hi Girls,

Blissa - be kind tou yourself! Its a very stressful time of year and after having a rough time wit DP its only natural that you are feeling a bit out of sorts {{{{{Big Hugs for you}}}}} Can;t believe that you just got the tree up, lol! I've had mine up for weeks now!!!! Sick of looking at it now, lol!!!!

mumof2000 - hope you had a wonderful night out - can;t wait to hear all about it!

I am feelign a bit off today myslef! Got all the pressies wrappend last night, the had a brilliant sleep - although I never felt better for it thismorning . It was all white when I got up so all the kids have been out since early. DS1 is in now playing with his wee friend, he says its too cold outside, lol! Had to nip down to the garden centre this morning n buy a sledge n had a wee panic driving back up the road - not even sure what brough it on but it passed pretty quickly so i'm okay! Just hate it when it totally takes you by suprise like that!

We are supposed to get more snow tonight, but I hope I can still get DS to nursery tomorrow as its his christmas party

Hope everyone else is okay x x x

Hi All

Thanks for kind messages , and yes i had a good night with the girls ....got picked up on time was my Bosses dad and he got a volvo 4x4 so was quite chilled about driving there and i got to sit in the front as i was first in
the place was lovely ...i did feel over dressed to start with as my boss and one of the other girls wore jeans and a top but once i got there there was all sorts of people wearing dresses and some long ones so i then felt better ...nothing worse than feeling over dressed ..
food was nice had the roast turkey yummy .. took it easy with the wine not to much then went on to water after 10 , disco was good to and did have a little bop ..ha ha ..
then got picked up in another 4x4 so felt fine on way home got in at 1 AM lol cant remember being up that late before lol ...was good ..

feeling mainly tired today but still busy tidying house kids etc...

Blissa- glad things improving between you and DP ... and your decs are up ..Have you a christmas party to go to ? shame your friends one cancelled ..

Yoummy -glad you got all your wrapping done , good feeling i should think .. i got my DC santa bits out and my DS seems to have way more than DD so will have to either pop out and top hers up or take a few of his out ..

Just waiting on my shopping getting delivered! Ordered it for between 8 and 10 (was the only slot left) so I am betting it will turn up at 10, lol!

Did you guys hear that that brittany murphy died - she was only 32! So young - tragic!

Anyway, hope you all enjoy the rest of the night.

Hi All ,

Had a panic today a he called me to say ordered the turkey , i said good what turkey crown ,,, he then said no its a de -boned and rolled breast one no no i said thats not what i said so luckly he managed to change it , but they said only got 16lb ones left ... not to good at weight is that quite big ? we are only 4 adults and 2 kids but i do like some left over for cold and curry ... any ideas ?

Got ALL wrapping done now to

Hope everyone els ok ?

LOL xxxxx

I didnt know that girl who sadly died but yes yommy way to young very sad -

Hey mumof2000,

Lol, about DH and the turkey mix up!!! I'd say 16lb is quite big. My DS2 was 8lb when he was born - so the size of 2 new borns! lol! I think that'll b a lot of eating!!

We are supposed to be going to my mums for christmas diiner! I like steakpie better for christmas dinner. We are snowed in at the moment , not even sure if DH is going to get home for christmas . He has to go through Aberdeen Airport and its closed at the moment so the won;t let them off the rigs!

My DS are still a little too young to be on the big countdown, doesn;t stop me though lol! They are only 3 and 1, christmas's will only get better and better! lol!

I am looking forward to getting to my bed tonight, got a bit of a headache with all the snow stress, lol!

Think I am going to make myself a hot chocolate and chill before bed.

DS1 is still out playing - just because of the snow and I kept him off of nursery today and keeping him off tomorrow as the weather is too bad to drive!

Anyway, I hope everyone is well!
x x x

Hi Yommy ,

You made me laugh about my gigantic turkey iv got coming lol ... thinking about it in baby weight , never thought of that ha ha , my DS wa 9 lb 6 ouch ...i can tell you i couldnt sit down for a week lol ...

my goodness we'll be eating turkey till easter i reckon ...!!!
oh well ... no wonder its costing £50

I guess your DC still a little to young for count down yes but im sure there loving all the lights , santa , tree ect specially your 3 yold ..arrr lovely ...

hope you DH makes it home in time for christmas ? will he have much time off ?

Hope your headache goes after your hot chocolate sounds a good plan

Do your DC have good bed time routeen , mine are bad at moment still up and running about ,.

Hope you have a good night sleep .

night xxx

Any news from your dh Yommy? I hope he makes it home and that the snow clears enough for you to get to your mums.

I bought a 3lb turkey crown this morning mumof2000 for 5 of us, but we have beef too. You do have a whopper there, maybe you could do a turkey curry buffet ala Bridget Jones mum

Dcs are so excited, and a little bored at being couped up. The snow is now just frozen so they can't really play with it and the squabbling is unbearable.

I'm feeling a bit under the weather, still aching and headachey, don't know if I'm coming down with something or if it's just my state of mind?

Did the shopping this morning, just need to pop to the farm shop for a bag of spuds and then into town to pick up something from Argos. Most of the wrapping is done.

Tomorrow I am looking after my friends dcs and then we will go to a carol service and a drink afterwards with friends

Hi Blissa ,
My rather large Turkey is making its way home as we speak !!! will let you know how it goes .. he he .. yours sounds a better size ....
i just hope i will fit it in the fridge !!

Hope you are feeling a bit better have you taken anything to help ? i felt a bit rough last week but took a few lemsips and it went thank good ness , hope yours gone soon .

I got veg today was crazy in Tescos people going mad and looking so stressed ... i was in and out as id done other bits last week

Hope you enjoy carol service and drinks after sounds a good festive plan ..

How you today yommy ? any news of DH arrival ?

lol xxx

Morning Girls!

Think DH is on his way home ! He called me from the rig thismorning to say that flights were going ahead as planned and his chopper was on its way out to get them - haven;t heard from him since, so hoping no news is good news!

Mumof2000 - can;t believe that turkey cost you £50 - LMAO!!!! We could have had a mass mumsnet friends christmas imagine explaining that one to the DH/DP. lol!!!

Sorry to hear you are still feeling rough Blissa - think when you are feeling horrible it makes you feel down in the dumps too! Hope it clears up before the big day!!!!

I have my niece visiting today! They just came up from England yesterday, took them 7 usually take 4 poor kids stuck in the car all that time! Never mind they are here now! Think we will def make it to my mums for dinner. Just have to get a few more bits and bobs tomorrow and that will be me all set! Can;t believe I am actually going to venture out tomorrow - must be mad!!!! Been stuck in like you blissa - starting to feel a bit stir crazy myself!!!

Anyway, hope you are all having a wonderful day!!! I am a bit disapointed at the lack of xmas movies on the run up

x x x

P.S. mumof2000 - i'm more worried about the bloody thing fitting in your over - lolololololol x x x

Lol yommy
Yes mumof2000 how big is your oven?!

Glad to hear dh is on his way yommy. You're right the lack of cheesy christmas films is very disappointing. I picked up a tv mag this morning and there isn't even any decent programmes on in the evenings

Morning Ladies

Hope you get your last min bits ok today yommy ? and DH gets home safe and sound .

And you are both right NOTHING on TV to watch , we been watching DVD home alone 1 & 2 so funny ...kids love it , and one of my fav films is Santa Clause the one with Dudley More i just love that film ....

Well got to get ready for work now check in later

lol ladies xxxxx

Morning Girls!!!

Christmas Eve indeed! Yipeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

Mumof2000 - Glad your turkey will fit in! Not even sure how long you would have to cook that for - cooking isn;t my strong point, lol! Thats so sweet about DD letting DS sleep with her! I hope my boys are like that one day!!! Hope your morning at work goes fast and you can get home n chill with the family!!!!

I am just trying to get as much tidying done as poss at the moment. DH got home safe and sound last night at 9 so we are all happy!!! He is away to get his last minute shopping today with DS1. DS2 has not been himself today! Think his teeth are bothering him, gave him some medicine - so he as gone for a wee knap!! and here I am on the computer instead of tidying! lol!!!

Got my bed's stripped and washed - that the most important thing - right, lol!!

Anyway - hope you all have a wonderful day. TV crap again! !!!

So glad dh made it home Yommy. My dp is also off out shopping- what is it with men and leaving their shopping til christmas eve, I can't think of anything worse! Hope ds2 feels better.

Not too sure how long your turkey is going to take mumof2000, I'm relieved to hear it will fit in your oven! I love that Dudley Moore film, we have it on DVD so have watched it a couple of times recently. Might sit and watch Narnia this afternoon.

I'm also trying to tidy up, almost done just need to hoover. Still feeling a bit off but don't seem to be getting any worse so shall keep soldiering on . Got the beef cooking in the oven for tomorrow and made extra carrot and swede last night so that's a couple of things less to do tomorrow.

Looking forward to carols and a drink later on. The snow is melting after the rain last night- typical it will be all gone by tomorrow

Merry Christmas girls x x x

lol xxxxx

I wonder if any one can help me i have recently developed anxiety and over the Christmas i found it to be really bad if i eat some thing sweet it chiggers it off if i eat too much salt it goes off again but i have gained alot of weight recently and wonder if these things can cause it i wonder if any one can help me with the symptoms i decided that i was going to try and lose some weight to try and help it and am going to embark on a low carb diet to help me reevaluate the way i eat then i can see what is causing the problems . I have also been in abuse relationships my partner left me just walked out and then i started to date some one else and after 2 months started to emotionally abuse me i thought i was going to crack up but could all of this be why i feel so unwell.

Hi Ladies,

Hope yo all had a lovely day! We did here although kids got way too much as usual, my house is like a bomb site, lol! Was a good day though

I have been chilling out with the boys all day, DS2 still got really sore teeth . Hes been really off and burning up for few days now! Hopefully they break through the skin soon!!! DH out at the pub with BIL so not expecting him home anytime soon!!!

Hi Kurves, welcome to our thread n feel free to hang around. Its good to have somewhere to post when you need to talk! Sorry to hear about your b relationships - I think this would def have lead to your anxiety, have ypu suffered with it before?? I know for sure too much sugar can affect your anxiety as can caffine, but not sure about the salt, could be possible. Excersise and a balance diet can def help control anxiet and your stress levels - which in turn would help you loose weight if thats your goal! Have you spoken to any professionals about it?? Here to chat if you want to!!

Hope everyone else is good! x x x

Mumof2000 - sounds like a fun day at your house??? How was the 2 newborns turkey, lol!! x x x

Hi All ..

Glad you had a nice day to yommy . my house still looks like a bomb site , im refusing to do to much tidying up at moment as im shattered and dont want to really , DH cool with that and is helping a bit to , and kids like it as they dont want christmas to be over .
Hope you DS2 teeth are breaking through its hard when they teething i remember my DD was bad just kept toping her up with calpol for the pain and thoses teathing cool rings you put in fridge ..
Hope DH had good time with BIL in pub and you are all having nice family time together

We had a lovely day to , kids got some lovely things , so did i my MIL got me a fab animal fluffy print waist coat type thing is really nice along with some PJ.s the kind that you can chill out in and wear round house .

DH got me some perfume and some croc slippers i love them wanted some for ages ..

Had a nice day yesterday went to shops and DH treated me to some nice underwea and some PJ,s from Lazenza they had such a good sale 1/2 price was so cheep ..
then went out for italian meal was really nice not to cook
Only bad thing is my cold has returned along with sore throat sort of on one side , trying not to worry about it ..and think something els grrrrrr

anyway enough of that (giving myself a slap .. for letting thoughts get in my head ) ha ha ,
going to my dads today with children DH not coming as still not forgiven him for upsetting me the other month when children went away with in-laws .
so will go alone , will be ok i hope ..
Hope you all have a fab day to ..

Welcome Kurves
as yommy said feel free to chat about your worries here all very friendly and when you feel anx it does help to talk .

seee you later ladies lolxxx

Thank you girls for welcoming me but i did not know where else to turn to i have 2 lovely boys who Ware nothing but a blessing.

I went to church today as last night my ex boyfriend called and decided that he was going to be so rude i was close to tears then i felt the effects of a attack coming on i had to go to sleep which was hard i woke up early and was just sitting in the corner of my room in tears cause i felt that was what i needed to do cry as i do not no why this man chooses to be so wicked to me this is some one that i have helped . but my anxiety just keeps getting worse any time i hear his voice its like i am almost scared of him i need to over come this . That could also be why i am over eating.I need to get away from him but its like he is in my head .
I try to sleep so that i do not have to face what i am going through i will get through this i will. then maybe my anxiety will fade away.

Hi kurves, I'm sorry you are going through such a tough time atm. The way this man is treating you is NOT your fault. He sounds like a bully. Can you cut all ties with him? Screen his calls, etc. Is there anyone you can call to be with you? I hope you are ok.

As for how food can affect anxiety- it has a lot to do with blood sugar levels. I know that when I am feeling bad I tend to stop eating which in turn makes me feel worse. I was like this last week after having a stressful time with my dp, and I didn't eat well.

My mum gave me a book about this time last year when I was first bad. It does recommend a healthy diet and cutting down on sugary and processed foods, alcohol too(although I'm not doing too well on that one lately!). Plenty of fruit and veg too. And getting out and about- exercise or just find ing something for yourself that you enjoy.

How old are your boys?

Hope ds2's teeth are feeling better Yommy. Glad you've all had a great christmas. What pressies did you get?

Sounds like you've had a lovely couple of days mumof2000. Quite of your lovely presents! Dp and I didn't get eachother anything. I got a smellies set from dd1 (she won it in a raffle-bless). I hope yesterday went well with your dad.

Just had christmas day to ourselves and then pil over for buffet food yesterday. Not seeing my family until new years day.

The dcs main present was a Wii, which they have been playing constantly for the past 2 days. We did manage to drag them out on their bikes today but they were straight back on Mario Kart when we got in! The novelty will wear off I'm sure...

today i was so stressed out i felt pain in my arm and thought it was a heart attack. i never had anxiety before but now just keep on thinking something is going to happen to me i feel alone at times i wonder if it is depression i refuse to go on any medication i just have to work my way through this thanks for your support guys but i started to have panic attacks in July after i had lipo and it was said to be due to the fact that i had a low blood count which can cause palpitations and dizziness when i read up on panic attacks i was the typical candidate i went to a and e three times where i was thoroughly checked out then called the ambulance 2 times .when i am happy it goes i started to exercise and eat properly and it was not that bad but when the abuse started it just came back .I guess when the boys goes back to school i can pick myself up again and get back into my routine. My ex is a bully and i know what he is doing i wish it would not affect me like this my boys are 8 and nine they are so sweet and what keeps me going they are the most precious gifts that god could have given me. I will gvet over this cause i know i will find my self again i was abused for almost nine years emotionally mentally and physically and i cannot believe that it is happening again am i a fool or what . i am not a bad person. e spent Christmas lone i feel isolated and alone and when i do see people i have to pretend its all ok.
BLISSA
my son got games for his wii for his presents and he has become a stranger

Blissa did you get the wii fit. And is pins and needles in your leg a sign of anxiety pain in the arm the left one ect. thank you so much for your time its so appreciated my family do not know what i am going through.
