Sitting in the closet

Well I have my son with me. In the closet. Sheltering down from a tornado in this area because of this tropical storm moving. I'm trying to stay calm but I feel like I want to have an anxiety attack. And trying to entertain an almost two year old, all while feeling like I want to crap my pants is even more horrifying. Because I just want to cry right now. And feel some sense of peace. This is going to stress my heart out. Wish me luck 🤞🙏

Much Much luck and keep posting saying you are safe. I live in an area where we aren't supposed to have tornados...but we did and I was injured not in the tornado but doing the clean up. Please stay safe...take some deep breaths in through your nose out through your mouth.theanxiety and tornado will pass. I saw a couple of your other posts...keep sending the I am safe! You are amazing and we are here!

We did make it through, I got really nervous because there are very few things that scare me. Tornadoes are one of those things. And we don't usually get them where I'm at either, and we've had three today. I hope you're doing ok where you are, and I'm sorry to hear you got hurt from helping in the clean up process.

Thank you, I'm thankful it didn't happen.. my baby has been through too much, and I wasn't about to just go out like that with out much debate from the higher power that be and asking for protection for him and myself. It scared the 💩 out of me. And I couldn't show it because I had to keep it together for him.

Tornados are a huge thing with my daughter since the tornado she has become afraid of wind. It is partially my fault because I went out to help with some clean up and was injured...three surgeries and ten months later I was doing better but if the wind is blowing and I step outside she often freaks out. I call it PTST post traumatic stress tornado. I am so glad you are safeand well. I saw that you were a bit ago but there is another very serious thing going on in my neck of the woods. I waswatching and if you ever want to talk I will be here....Stay safe! Thinking of you daily!

I got this same message at 5am. Glad we made it through🙂. It wasnt bad where I am though. A few scary winds.

Yeah we had like three here today so I'm sitting in the closet trying to not freak out. It was down pouring outside. Then all of a sudden it stopped. And then the lights started flickering. All I could think about was keep my son safe, and if that meant shielding him with my body so be it. Gotta love anxiety. Anyways after an hour of alerts we got passed over 🙏 I'm glad you were safe!!
