Feel free to message me anytime. Please read my profile. I am 62, married 42 years. Battling anxiety my whole life. I am a husband, father and grandpa. I think everyone has good advice. And you can use it in your life to help you. The medicine I’m on is a beta blocker and klonopin. I start every morning with the Wim Hof guided breathing exercises free on you tube. It’s best done lying down on an empty stomach. And you can do it before meals if you want more . When I first started I could barely do it . I had to cheat a bit on the last breath hold. The breath holds get longer with each round. Now I use the 3 round to warm up for the 5 round. The thing that helps me the most is 40 minutes of daily cardio. This is my go to. I can’t tell you how good I feel when done excercising. You tube has aerobics or jogging in place or yoga and a bunch more. I take cold showers or baths . Yea I know it sounds rough. But you can you tube or Google all this and the benefits. As far as stressing because your home is too small? I prefer to think you are lucky. To be surrounded by love. All as snug as a bug in a rug . My mom and I lived with my grandparents and thier 3 kids in a small house for a few years. I know because you are a mom trying to find time for my suggestions is not easy. But the breathing exercises are 10 minutes. The excercise 40 minutes done at home. And you will be a role model for your kids showing them healthy things? When you are done with your shower rinse in cool water. And slowly lower the temperature a bit each week. I like the dare mental health videos on you tube too. I say a long bedtime prayer that comforts me too . I don’t have god figured out. I just know god is love . And I try to live a life of love .

That's just beautiful that's for the advice I'm gonna look up the breathing exercises on YouTube. I do think exercises will help but I move around so much but I'll try to add some walking or water watching I know that helps me a lot of thanks so much for taking the time out to talk to me ur awesome😊😊

Hello Sweetgirl and welcome. This is a wonderful community and I'm sure you will find kindness and support. I read one of your replies where you said you feel like you are failing. As the mother of two grown children I know that being a parent is hard. But as your children get older what you may think are your biggest failures turn out to be things they don't even remember. Someone is always here if you need them. HUGS ❤

Thanks you so much for that I only hope my kids will remember how hard mom and dad love them and all the good times we will have amen

[Mrspjsmom in reply to Sweetgirl1111]

Hi @Sweetgirl111 how are you doing? As a mom of two myself, I can understand those feelings of not being enough or doing enough for our children but I know a mothers love is so precious and so important for the well being of a child and your children have this from you.

Try and be gentle with yourself and trust that your children will indeed remember and appreciate all the love and care that you are giving them and will continue to give them.

Praying that despite how life seems now, all will eventually work out for the best for you and your family. Sending you much hugs )))
