Severe anxiety and stress advice

[toomuchgoingonhere]

I’m going through a nightmare time at home. And whilst I’m still trying to be strong, the physical and mental symptoms are so hard. My stomach feels like a washing machine, I wake up thinking of our problem, and it lasts all day. Every noise makes me jump, and we’re all involved so DH, and family are in it too. I’ve talked to friends about our problem and it helps, but then I come home and it’s still there. Yesterday I felt like I was having a panic attack about having a panic attack. Breathing helps contain it all. Anything else I can do. It’s not going away- it’ll be 2 months maybe more of this and will only get worse. Don’t know how to keep going and except I do. One foot in front of the other. Any advice?

I’m going through an anxious situation too, I idea when it will end but hopefully it will only be another 6-8 weeks. It’s just me, so I’m getting support from DH but his patience is waning.
For me I’ve found that distraction is the only way, trying to get my mind onto something else. I’m sorry you’re going through this 💐

CBD oil. Buy it from supreme, not online, they do huge discounts of you have tiktok shop. It's brilliant.

Yes, I walk around the house and garden. What must the neighbours think.

Is it safe? The oil?

How are you?

I tried lots of distractions on Saturday, and just felt so tired yesterday. Wanted to sleep any time I sat down. Also left my phone upstairs so I couldn’t scroll.

Here we go again then, new week ahead. The ‘issue’ we have will rear its ugly head and we just have to ride along.

I found swimming, and water generally, very helpful when I was in the thick of it. Try and avoid alcohol which really does make it worse, but go easy on yourself about other things.

This will pass, because all things will pass.

Every time I get a phone notification or the phone rings I go straight into anxiety mode. I’ve had nights of not sleeping, tossing and turning while I go over conversations I’ve had and ones I haven’t had. And this is all being caused by family. Well, when this is finally over I will be barring their numbers and I won’t ever see them again.
i just keep telling myself that it will all be over next Summer. And at some point I’ll stop thinking about it and the anxiety will fade. It’s not for ever.

GP for propranolol.

was a lifesaver for me after years of this sort of anxiety.

I don’t want to take medication. But considering I’ve been googling Samaritans! I’ve had a day of not talking about it. Mine is family too. It’s so sad. Lost them as it’s DH against them. Just don’t know what to do.

Exercise wil help so if you can get out for a run, or skip in your garden that will definitely help at the body level. Crunchy snacks. Medication if things get desperate. Sorry things are tough.
