I can't handle much more

[tnt808]

This has been a horrible week for me. AND it's only Wednesday. Seriously, I don't think I can take much more. I really can't.

I'm embarrassed even posting this crap about me. But I can't take it anymore. I need one small positive break...PLEASE!!!

I am feeling really down at the moment too and just waiting for Friday cos then I have a week off.

Just 2 more days to survive!

Hope you feel better soon too.

Dear Tina,

I know it has been a difficult week for you and that always increases our anxiety. Huge :hugs: :hugs: :hugs: to you. Try and give yourself some time to relax (difficult I know with a baby and a toddler) and focus on yourself. You have alot going on right now and need some down time. If you can hire a babysitter and do something you love. Go on a date with hubby. Please try to do something that will make you feel good and do it this week or weekend. You will be okay. I'm always a e-mail or pm away.

Love,

Laura :flowers:

Hi...
Firstly, do not feel embarrassed to post......about anything!!!
I'm sorry you're having a rough week, but as someone else said...nearly Friday.

Tina just read your post and I want you to know you are not alone ,
Its been difficult for me too this week but what can we do ?
Ive been so lazy laying about the house with dishes sitting in the sink, but Im thinking SO WHAT, we must put ourselfs first sometimes... just think about the present moment, not the past or future. This texhniques is called mindfulness and its not easy to do but the more you do it the easier it gets.
You can get cds on this subject to help you.

Hope you feel better real soon xxx

I just wanted to thank all those that replied to my rant. I appreciate the time you took, and your kind words. Thank You.

My anxiety has been at an all time high lately, as if that isn't bad enough I have had some health scares as well. I have wondered more than a few times this week that if I didn't have anxiety would these health concerns be as big of deal to me?! I am tired of the always blowing things out of proportion. It takes everything out of me, I end up pushing through it, but I don't do it pretty.

I see the look of worry on my husband's face when I get like this, and it just pains me, and then the guilt comes. It's a neverending cycle of grief, and worry. I hate making him worry. He tells me I am too hard on myself..and in turn I tell him *Don't you see that the hard on myself is part of anxiety*?! I mean really we are all our worst critics, enemies, whatever you want to call it.

The weirdest thing is I am completely aware of how and when my anxiety gets out of control. I SEE, FEEL it coming. I just can't stop it! I can't understand how I can be that intuitive and not be able to control it. I get so frustrated. I can't even blame it on hindsight is 20/20 because I can see it all happening.

I told my husband I long for the day that I am *normal*. The sweet, loving man that he is of course said *whatever normal is*. It's true what the hell is normal? My normal may be different than most, but at the end of the day I just don't want to be like this anymore. AND if that's normal then that's what I want to be!

Sorry for the rant, vent...whateva!

Tina Sweetie: You are right. What is "Normal"? I too keep wishing that I was normal, but until there is a definitive answer we'll just have to keep going a minute at a time.

We're all here for you. You are not alone - I bet loads of us having a bad week too - I know I am.

Loads of :hugs: :hugs: :hugs:
