Hi Everyone

[Booble]

I don't know if this is the right place but here goes....i am 47 and have 2 lovely children and a lovely husband. My problem is that when my husband goes away i have serious anxiety...jelly legs, brick in stomach, headaches you name it i seem to get it. He goes away tomorrow and i have been bad for about 2 weeks now, constantly crying, very shaky, no appetite,can't breathe and lots of other symptoms. Just feel that when he actually goes tomorrow i will fall to pieces and not be able to cope. Am so ashamed of myself i just want to run away cos if i run away he can't go...perfect sense. Never used to be this weak and woolly, just can't find the strength to imagine the next week without him. (he going to Orlando for work conference)

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Hiya Booble :welcome: to nmp its lovely to have you here :yesyes:
You will get lots of support/advice/reasurance and mke some great friends along the way.
What is it you fear when your hubbie goes away? do you fear something will happen to him while he is gone. have you been to your doc about how you feel ? Dont dispair hun this can be gotten under control. While he is away this time you now have all of us to keep you company and to talk to you and help you through untill he comes home. keep posting and i hope to talk to you in the chat room soon.

take care :hugs: :hugs: :hugs:

:) hi booble, yes this has been one of my major concerns, although IM embarrassed to say that he has never gone that far:blush: so you arent doing as bad as you think -i get like this when mine goes anywhere over 10 miles away:blush: you are doing well, and also the anticipating it almost makes it happen, so if you can stop the thoughts with other stuff and try and relax and tell yourself you wont go to pieces then you will start to feel better - i dont wan to make light of this for you becaus ei know you will be feeling really bad, but we can 'choose' to feel better, it just takes alot of hard work - you have it in you to stop feeling the way you do by changing the way you think, try very very hard to be positive and you will soon start to feel better - failing that you now have the support of nmp until your husband returns:winks: :yesyes: emma xxxxxxx

Hi Booble,

Welcome to the site. Many here will understand how you feel and will give their support. I also hate it when my hubby travels. Do you have a support system you can set up while he is away?

Take care,

Laura
