Feeling terrified

[dom410]

My wife and I were in the backyard and when I came in she was with my 16 year old daughter. she hasn't had anything to drink and says feels like passing out and she started her period too. We gave her some water and then she got sick. I know it's most likely just dehydration. I cant seem to calm myself down. I feel like ice is in my chest.

My wife is so strong and relaxed about all this.

I wish I could be like her. Throughout this ordeal and the virus thing I feel like I'm so bot the leader of the household. I feel like such a failure and coward.

Atleast my daughter is fever free.

Please do not punish yourself. You can only do what you can. Remember we are all in this virus boat. Your daughter is probably having hormone problems, I had them all my life with my periods. Just keep practicing your safe hygiene, the virus will leave or be conquered one day. Be kind to yourself, do some meditation, and promote self love, you are Not a failure, or a coward, many of us are frightened by the virus, I am not, I am almost 78 in my home with plenty of food and water, and things to do to keep me busy. Look inside yourself, you will find strength and courage.....sending love and hugs, with peace.....Sprinkle 1....

Thank you so much for your kind words. I need to resign myself as controller of the universe.

It's a terrifying time for those of us with depression and anxiety. Being practical or active may help dissipate the tension. It could be housework, or cooking or a bit of exercise.

You may also get her to rest and snuggle up with a good book. Look after and pamper her so she feels loved and nourished. I am a firm believer that our happiness/cheerfulness is the best immune booster.

Thinking of you .. xx

hi its natural to worry as a parent when incidents like this happen with our children.sometime mothers do know best but that doesn't make you feel lesser able to help her in any given situation.glad to hear she is ok.
