hi to everyone else

I am good thanks candy. Have had a good day! Managed to go to tesco with the two boys on my own and never even had a wobble! The had a nice afternoon at my friends house, although there were about 8 kids there and they were all going mad! Highly stressful, lol!
What age is your ds who has gone camping? Hope he has a good time! You take this time to chill out! x x x

I am missing my hubby tonight! I miss the adult company at night more than any other time! Never mind he'll be back in two weeks and I will be wishing he was away again . We call him the fun police as all the kids out playing stress him out to much! lol! Men!

I am just going to potter around with ds2 until bed time at 8 I can here the icecream van on its rounds so ds1 will be in shorty to ask for money!

Hope you are all well! x x x

hi yommy ,ds is 11 and ive just called and no answer ,hope all is ok - i trust his mates parents.
glad you had a nice day xx

Hi all

Hope your getting on ok without your dh this evening yommy. I'm sure the 2 weeks will go quickly.

Have you heard from your ds candy? I hope the weather stays ok for them.

Managed tesco today, asked dp to come with me as couldn't face going on my own. Have had a little bit of bleeding today. My back is aching too, think its sciatica again, get this feeling over my hip, in my bum and back of my leg. When this is all over I am going to get fit!

Have spent my evening baking fairy cakes. It's dd1s birthday on sunday, she'll be 8, and we're having a little party tomorrow afternoon. I've roped in my best friend to help! Hoping that the rain will stay away so they can get out in the garden, they're going to be decorating canvas bags so it will be better done out there. We have to tidy that up in the morning. Sunday should be a quiet day, with people just popping in and out.

So I probably won't get on for a couple of days, have a good weekend all

Hope the party goes well~decorating canvas bags sounds a nice idea.
Hope dd has a lovely birthday

Yommy hope you're feeling better

We are going to the beach tomorrow and doing some canoeing lol so enjoy your weekends

Thanks morning, I found a great site that sold all the stuff. Typically though I only opened the box tonight and found that I needed to wash the bags, and that some of the paints need to be gone over with a hair dryer after 4 hours, hope the mums won't mind!

Have a good day at the beach!

thanks

washing the bags is a bit of a pain but I think they'll love it

Morning Girls,

Sounds like you all have a busy weekend ahead. I was wanting to go the the European Bagpipe champions ships today which are being held at a local park, but ds1 has a birthday party to go to at 2 and its not like I can make up an excuse as it in the wee boys house who lives across the read, lol!

Blissa - Glad you are sounding well. Hope dd's birthdat goes well today! Sounds like you guys are going to have fun!

Morning - Hope you all have a wonderful day at the beach. And hope the weather is good for you! Glad DD had a lovely Birthday!

Candy - Hope your ds had a fab camping trip and I hope you made the most of your time off!

My little cherubs are both being a royal pain in the butt this morning so had better get off and deal with them. I have a funny feeling this is going to be a long day!

Speak soon x x x

hi ladies -not having a good day today -been feeling ill and imagining all sorts
had to resort to taking a diazepam tablet - totally fed up,did i tell you i have hyperventilation syndrome -its horrible
so very tiring.
how has your weekends been ?

Hi Candy,

Sorry to hear you are having a bad day Whats the matter with you (if you don;t mind me asking)? I hope you get well soon

Is it the anxiety that causes hyperventilation syndrome? And does it ever go away? Do it mean that ypu are basically hyperventilating all the time??? Sorry for all the questions . Its sounds horribel whatever it is, that is the worse part of panic attacks for me and the think that scares me most!

My weekend has be good! I have been feeling fine all weekend . Had a birthday party yest afternoon with dc then went down to see bagpipe championships. Today I went to pick new flooring for my living room! Its needed - I have a cream carpet, which is currently numerous shades of dirty, lol! I have a vax, but its so difficult to keep clean with dc running about and spilling everything they can get their hands on!

Anywho, I am around if you want to chat candy! Although kids are doing my head in! little angels DS1 won;t eat his tea and DS2 is whinging as he is fed up and wanting DS1's dinner, lol!

Hi to everyone else, hope you have all had nice weekends! x x x

Morning Girls,

Hope you are all well!

I am having a horrible morning! Haven't stopped shouting at DS1 since he opened his eyes I am shattered and he is being a pain in the butt! Argh! I need to chill out a little, but i think this is going to b a long day! The weather is crap and everyone I know is at work or on holiday, lol! Most of the kids in our street are on holiday so no one to play with for DS1 til this evening!

Hi to everyone! x x x

morning yommy
sympathies ~monday morning and all that lol

how old is ds1?
just told ds2 to play in his room with some of his things as he is getting addicted to the tv lol while we have every toy known to woman,

hope it gets better

hi to blissa and candy

xx

Hi girls

Hope you are feeling better today candy

I feel for you yommy, I hate mornings like that. I hope your day gets better

DDs party went really well and she had a lovely birthday yesterday. I'm not feeling brilliant, had tummy ache since yesterday afternoon, feels a bit like period pain crossed with wind. I'm still bleeding, but it's like a period. I've passed some clots too (sorry tmi) I know they say this can happen but with my relationship with clots I'm stressing a bit.

blissa~glad the party went so well

not the same kind of clots as PE clots iykwim~just more bleeding = clots,normal process.

bad explanation but hope you know what I mean
xx

Thanks morning, I was hoping you'd talk some sense to me . I know it's just everything in there that has to come out.

How was your day at the beach?

Oh it was really good ,dh and the dcs went canoeing in the bay.

there was a very heavy shower of rain though which brought out a sort of war spirit among all the people on the beach as we sheltered by the rocks with towels on our heads looking daft lol

hi all
bit better today -think i may of had the tailendf of what the kids had last week ,some sort of bug.
hyperventilation for me is that i keep taking big brethes and yawn alot which causes lots of chest pains,tiredness ,dizziness and feeling like im not getting enough air in ,in turn making me anxious .
my cbt guy has given me some breathing exercises to do ,i think they help a little bit but for some reason its seems to be getting worse im wondering if its because im thinking about it more and confronting it ?
feeling tearful now - just so fed up with myself

Poor you candy
I always find my breathing feels worse when I concentrate on it.

Glad you had a good day morning, at least the rain didn't spoil it. We were so lucky for dd1s party on Saturday, it was beautiful.

Dp just popped home to say he might have to go to Paris tonight to do a job. I really could do with him around, I worry incase something happens to me when he's not here

Hi girls,

Thanks for your kind support! Thankfully my day has gotten better!

Candy DS1 is 3.4 going on 34, lol! He has gone for a nap so I am hoping he will be on a better mood when he wakes up! Glad you all had a fun at the beach! Sounds like the kids loved it!

Blissa - I am with morning on the bleeding! The cloting will be normal! I had a lot of that after the birth of ds2, the first time it happened I was shaking with fear as I was sure I was going to get whipped back into theatre! It happened 2 more times after that, but the midewives couldn;t really expalin why it was happeneing (the clot were really big) So glad dd's birthday went so well! Hope the tummy ache goes soon!

Sun has come out now, so might even make it to the local shops just to get out for half and hour!

Candy hope you are well????

x x x

I posted before I read the post from you candy! I get that with the breathing too! Obviously its worse when the anxiety bad! I totally agree with Blissa, me breathing is worse when I think about it! I yawn all the time when I feel like I can;t get a full breath of air into my lungs, if that makes sense?! My counsellor told me to always breath out longer than the breath in and that will make you feel better! Like count 3 in and 5 out! She said it doesn;t matter how long u count, just make sure the breath out is always 2 more! Sorry I think I am babbling! lol!

What does dp do blissa? I am the same with the worrying when my dh is away, although I have to just deal with it as he works away most of the time! I am really missing him this time! Pity you couldn't go to Paris with him, lol! That would be a lovely little break!

Hi yommy, glad your day is getting better. I've just had a fun half hour with my ds hitting and pinching me. I don't have the energy atm.

Dp is a lorry driver. He owned his own company until it went bust in January. We lost 4 lorries but luckily he owned one out right. He did a run to Holland the week before last, taking salad out there. It's great that he's getting some work, but I don't like him being away

Awe Blissa thats awful about ur dp business! This darn recession has affected so many families! Nightmare!

You will be fine if he goes away! I read that anxiety sufferers have to try not to rely on others to make them feel better, but just to rely and believe in yourself! Its so hard especially when you are having bad days! I am trying to do that at the moment! Its hard when you are having momnets of sheer panic! But I just keep thinking - whats the worst that can happen! I feel like utter shit, but it WILL pass!

Babbling again!
Sorry!

x x x

i went out for a few hours when dh came home from work ,just needed some peace and quiet -hard to get in my house.
just went down to the river and relaxed -didnt want to come home but i did ,just making dinner now ,ds is so naughty at the moment i think its coz he's tired so early to bed for him .
and for me

Awe candy,

You sond so down in the dumps at the moment! Try not to beat urself up. Its not your fault u have this dreaded anxiety and you will have bad days - as well as good! Just believe in yourself and you will get through!

Do you think you are feeling so bad at the moment because of the CBT??

{{{{{{{{{{{{{hugs to you}}}}}}}}}}}}}

x x x

Good for you for getting out for a while candy, I hope an early night helps you feel better

Thanks yommy . He's not going tonight afterall but is off back to Holland tomorrow. I know I'll be ok, but just am more anxious as I'm not feeling 100%.
