*Oh heck!!*

Just found out at school today that I have to go on a day trip tomorrow to Morwellham Quay nr Tavistock.......

Lovely place of historical interest, lots of dressing up in Victorian clothes.....great fun ....but.....

There is also a mine dating back to Victorian times...and you reach it by going on a little train.....down .....down.....into the depths of the earth!!! Very dark and very confined...

I don't do 'very dark and very confined' very well at all.

And my bottle of Rescue Remedy is still a wet patch on my wedding handbag!

I knew I should have bought another one.

I find it very easy to advise others how to cope with situations like this...and not at all easy to apply it to myself I'm sorry to say.

I'm feeling just a tad wobbly........

Groovynanny,

Hi, sorry to hear about your rescue remedy, don't know what to tell you.
I don't like dark places either.

Hope this works out for you.

Take care,
Believe

Hi GG

Sorry to hear you're getting anxious.

if you're going with the kids and have to keep all eyes on them maybe JUST maybe you won't think about the dark place as much............

If you do get anxious, look around and point a few things out to the kids, do anything to try and distract yourself. A few discreet deep breaths wouldn't go amiss either.

I have every faith in you that you'll come through this GG and no doubt be posting tomorrow telling us all the GG funny moments you had.

i'll be thinking of you

[KittyKate]

Oh no, that would freak me out too!

Just try and focus on the kids, breathe deeply anmd get yourself some new rescue remedy!

Best of luck to you x

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! GG, if that was me...I would be freaking....not about the tunnel...but about all those kids being in there with me!!!!! (I know...I know....a mother who is anx about kids....never said I wasn't strange!

Reminds me of years ago (well before anx and well before this odd problem/fear that I have of kids) I was a student and I had a placement at a school for children with learning difficulties. We were out at this country house garden and there was this tunnel under the house. The kids went in and I dutifully followed, not anx at all...until I got in there I didn't say anything at all but the anx started to rise.....and the little boy next to me that I was supposed to be looking after, slipped his hand into mine and said
'It's ok...I'll look after you' bless his wee cotton socks!

So GG, the moral of the story is....don't worry, the kids will look after you!

Happyone
xx

If you can look after a toddler for 2 weeks then you can go down a dark place for a few hours - you know you can. I'd go with you anywhere - you have that sort of confidence that instills it in others (even if that's not how you feel).

I can't wait to hear about it all tomorrow night.
