NEED TO BREATH

6 Replies

I'm feeling like I am about to have an anxiety attack. I can feel it coming and i'm trying to talk myself down from it. Been stuck in this house all day. SO at work, kids are wired and full of energy and I am overwhelmed. I need a break, but i'll just feel like crap once i get one. I need to breath, i'm suffocating in these 4 walls. Can't go anywhere cuz i'm broke, gotta safe my gas for school next week. BREATH BREATH BREATH!!!

Go do something to distract yourself and make yourself think differently. Don't make up excuses that you can't do anything because you can always find something to do. If you sit in the same place your mind will stay in the same place and nothing will change.

Get up and do something!!!!

MayMay, take a time out for yourself, tune into YouTube

and listen to "Sinking & Slowing Breathing Meditation"

by Quiet Mind Café

You need 5-10 minutes of "me time" if you can.

You seem in such agony? I know what your going through, I feel like I'm fighting anxiety attacks on a daily basis, my stomach feels like it's going to Explode, it happens at night so it's hard to sleep. I do deep breathing/massage to make it go away. I have a doctor's appointment next Tuesday. I think it's because of my anxiety? Are you in counseling? Anxiety is the Hardest thing I've EVER had to deal with.

in reply to Want2BHappy3

No I am not in counselling, My doctor recommended it but I have been so busy with school and kids and now we are moving in a month so i have so much to do. I feel like no matter how hard i try, taking care of ME isn't something easy to do because I am so busy taking care of everyone else around me. I hope your doctor can help you. Good Vibes your way hun.

You know what they say...if you can't take care of yourself, you can't take care of anyone else? I know what your going though, we Mother always put everyone else FIRST. I hope when things slow down, you can take the time for yourself, it will go along way in helping you and your family. Take care, keep in touch
