I am there again, in that pit, that horrible scary pit & my anxiety & panic is as bad as ever.
Problem is, I think it's 2 fold. My hormones, I really do believe that my pmt is getting far worse again (prob my age as I'm 45 now, so prob peri).
And, my husband is going to work abroad & will be away for several weeks at a time. Kids & I could have went (although I hate flying & have severe anxiety when away from home, but may have managed it), but eldest sitting his exams soon, so it's not an option.
I am ill. Some days I can almost feel normal, but other days I just can't handle the thought of doing this.
Everyone says that I will get into a routine, I am strong, I will be okay ect. But, I don't believe a word of it.
I have tried postive affirmations, praying, telling myself I will be okay & that I can do this, doing eft, self hypnosis, the lot!!!! But almost everyday my stomach is in knots & I cry at the drop of a hat.
I just feel between my hormones & the situation my anxiety is so bad that I might spiral more & more down into a depression. I can't go there again.
Please, has anyone else with anxiety experienced their partner or spouse going away from home to work?
If so, I would love some advice.
Also, think I need to tackle the hormone issue but know they will put me on tabs & that scares me too!!!!:unsure:
