Just joined NMP, having bad day

[madge]

Anxiety, panic attacks, convinced I'm going to be ill and am tearful. My husband goes to work away for 2 weeks tomorrow so I'm worrying about how I'll be with him gone. Woke up feeling great but as day went on I've gotten worse. Hopefully I'll feel better and sleep well tonight

Hi Madge and welcome. I do feel for you, I've been where you are with not wanting to be alone at home, I was always scared of being ill and not being able to get help. Our fears are always much less when we have somebody around. Do you have any coping tools for these times...like leaving lights and radio on, not watching scary movies lol! And having a glass of wine or a warm milky drink before bed?

My twelve year old son will be home with me but I'm trying not to let him see how anxious I am as I'd hate for him to end up like this. I also go out to work but get anxious over stupid things. My mind loves to constantly ask me "but what if.......". Luckily I don't often have trouble sleeping. I just wish panic and anxiety would leave me alone

Thanks. This looks like a really good site. I've downloaded the CBT workbooks and MP3s and am hoping they might help :-)
