Love to you all.

prayers cocoa

Paula, glad dad is better.

Well done Orchid!

Cocoa thinking of you. Praying your stress lessens.

Prayers for you Cocoa I pray you can focus on your work and that whatever else may be going on with you eases. The devil will do anything he can to attack us and I pray God stays with you and you can feel him supporting you.

We are picking up the keys to our new house today or tomorrow. It needs a lot of work but I am so thankful to God that he made this happen. It's social housing and I know for a fact we were not at the top of the list but here this house is! I know this is just a drop in the ocean for Him. My dh has a chest infection and I need him better to move! :) I can't do it on my own. Never mind decorating the whole place before we move in lol. I am just so grateful for this house.

Thank you Paula Lissette and bes

I am sitting in my car praying for focus. I managed my meeting today, the other I had to give apologies for. The proverbial has hit the fan and I had a panic attack. Thank you God for my lovely colleague who gave me two hours of his time and calmed me down, so I can get the necessary paperwork together to deal with non-work issues with a sense of emergency, and the understanding that I need to clear my desk and respond. I am glad that I had come to terms with this outcome, it doesn't change the reality being awful now that it is happening. Please keep praying for me, it means a lot.

Paula, so pleased for you that the house happened. It will all come together, you'll see, if not today or tomorrow then next week. Hang in there. Giving thanks with you.
CocoaX I'm not ignoring you, I still hope we may be able to talk later.
Praying that nobody is too disrupted by the bad weather yesterday. I had a truly awful journey trying to get to Scotland. I am hoping I can have another try today.

Oma, I know that
It is at least sunny this morning. I woke at five churning things over and have been praying and meditating. The sunrise was gorgeous, so hopefully the sun will clear away the snow.

Paula I did include you, and others on this thread, in my prayers. My house needs a lot of work too, but it is yours and you will get there. You need to live in a place for a bit to see how you want it, so don't worry too much if it is not exactly right when you move in.

Prayers all around.

cocoa praying for you, me and everyone who has anxiety or I'm stressful situations. Had a really good day ( if you exclude going to doc to get antibiotics!), school run ok. Even ds commented I was happy and calm. Nice eve which was then ruined by dh accusing me of trying to poison him or wind him up - yes I can't believe I'm typing this. Can just about see through tears. I know you all think I should leave him so I'm not expecting any advise I just need somewhere to vent and calm myself before I try and sleep. I don't want to go on samaritans website but it's almost come to that. Basically I accidentally put wrong dose of Meds in the weekly pot for dh. He noticed - which I'm pleased about as I wouldn't want him to be ill but completely lost it saying am I making him ill?! I told him to calm down and I'd make a cup of tea he said he didn't want anything from me. The reason I haven't lost any weight is obviously to wind him up - he says. He has gone to bed. I am downstairs. Sorry it's a ramble. Can breathe now x

eh - It's not you Orchid. He's being unreasonable and acting out and going over the top. If it's any consolation I have this with my parents although it helps that I don't live with them any more (in fact thousands of miles of water between us - yay!). I hate walking on eggshells and the lack of respect. Drum into yourself that it's not you. It is not acceptable for him to behave like that and don't take it.

I think a large part of my anxiety comes from my upbringing in a tense household and so I tend to catastrophise. Currently worried that something awful will happen when dh brings ds out and about in the car tomorrow. Totally irrational and out of proportion. Grrr - get a grip Lissette!

Orchid sending an unmumsnetty hug to you - and to you too Cocoa. Welcome home Paula.

Orchid it doesn't matter that 'we all think you should leave him', and we would not want to send you any advice on that score. What does matter is that you have a safe place to vent and that we will support you in whatever you want and need to do. Having said that, it does seem that your husband is trying to pick a fight at any opportunity and it is up to you how much you are willing and able to take. You have a choice in what you think and how you react; you cannot contol anybody apart from yourself. You did very well all day today and I am just wondering why it is you that sorts his medication and why he doesn't do that himself. If he makes a mistake he will only have himself to blame.
Cocoa I hope you have a peaceful night.

I would let him do his own meds now. and anything else he complains about.

off to mothers. roof tiles are off but neighbour has cut out the middle man and rung reli who deals with onsite stuff.

ex is supposed to be here an hour ago.

I have just posted on here by mistake as I have been up since four as sick with stress and was going to text a friend. My friend has offered to take the children so I can get some rest tomorrow. I will be fine by Monday. I have asked MN to delete that post as it makes no sense and it has DS name in it, fckity fck

Poor you cocoa hoping and praying you feel better soon. I know how horrible anxiety can make you feel. Glad your friend is helping you. Try and eat and drink something.
Could you put a film on and watch with the kids? Take care xx

bes hope your mums roof is fixed. Has ex let you know why he is late?

I'm still not dressed yet but done dishwasher, put washing on and bin/ recy. Dh at work.

Praying calmness is restored for all who need it.

Calmness all round would be lovely this weekend. The calm after the storm.

Anxiety is energy sapping.

it is mum's garage roof. hit by next doors ridge tiles.

oh and my garage roof has lifted and the beams are out of thier slots and the brickwork is loose.

Please can you all pray for the lovely Dutchoma who was taken ill today and is in hospital? I hope she will not mind me posting. It sounds like she is in good hands and she is able to speak with her friend, but i don't know much more. I would like to pray that she remains stable and is well looked after and has a restful night. She is so lovely and kind and has the right words.

Anxiety is awful, i am in the grip of free floating panic but I need to breathe and pray and remember God keeps us safe. There will be a way through this.

Orchid, please do not hold back posting because you think we think you should leave. For all the LTBs thrown around on Relationships, it is never that simple.

I am truly exhausted so I will not post more. I need to get a grip on this stress and sleep. If I pray and meditate, I will relax, and I am going to pray the Compline for Oma.

Thanks Cocoa. I am ok and well looked after but totally exhausted. Hoping to get some sleep tonight, but I'm not holding out much hope. Thanks for prayers.

Well, if I am awake in the night, I shall be thinking of you . It all sounds very exhausting. I am actually glad you were reasonably close to a hospital after all. The Lord moves in mysterious ways, I am praying thanks for that. I shall pray for a restful night for you.

Oma my lovely are you ok? Do you need anything? If you are in a local hospital I can visit on Monday and bring you anything you need.

Dutchoma.

Praying for all on the thread that we don't all keel over. It would be quite a thump if it was simultaneous.

Cocoa had free floating panic last night too. It is a very odd feeling. I will continue to pray for you and Orchid.

This might not be a good time to quit chocolate

prayers oma.

I slept for about four hours once they took me off the machine
