I'm sorry to moan but I have had a horrible day and can't even tell you why! I woke up exhausted (my youngest still doesn't sleep through at 17 months) and my day/mood just didn't improve even though I tried really hard to relax and smile. I've been feeling sort of really uptight and anxious all day and then notice the aches and pains kicking in. It's now late, I'm knackered and I have calf ache which has been bugging me since this afternoon (my fear of DVT!). It's a vicious circle as I keep rubbing my leg, which in turn makes it worse, which then makes me more aware of it so I get more anxious and then start rubbing it again! My common sense tells me to leave it alone and it will go away but I just can't. I've also now got shoulder ache (from having my shoulders around my ears I suspect) and I just wish it would all leave me alone! :weep: Even the news made me cry at t time!!
This health anxiety just gets me soo down some days. I don't have anyone to talk with as my husband (although a star in lots of ways) just doesn't understand stress of any sort and won't 'indulge' me. (His words not mine)
Does anyone else have regular days like this? Where you feel the anxiety in you but no amount of trying helps you relax? And you don't even know what the trigger is? At least when the aches and pains come first I recognise that they cause my anxious feelings!
Think I might go to bed and try and settle.......just felt the need to share this....hope you guys don't mind.
thanks :blush:
