back from holidays feeling good..

[miarose]

hi all,havan't been on in a while,been looking after my two grandchildren for a week,one is 8 months and the other is 18 months,very hard work,but I did it,and it kept me from dwelling on my anxiety,I hadn't the time to focus on how Iwas feeling..two days later 4 of us went to lanzarote for 2 weeks,I really enjoyed the sun,I did feel anxious,a couple of days,but I didn't dwell on it,being with other people,relaxing and doing things I enjoyed really helped, we are home 2 days now,and I'm trying to keep my mind occupied ,spending too much time on our own,thinking of our anxiety,only makes us feel worse,in a few days I could be feeling crap,but just now i'm feeling great, so heres hoping it lasts. hope your all doing well. xxxxxx

Hi miarose, youve certainly been very busy, that holiday in lanzarote sounds lovely thats what I could do with. I expect you needed it after looking after your grandchildren thats very tiring when they're so young ! Hope you can continue feeling well

thank you mimii,the holiday was lovely,unfortunately we have to come home,and the old anxiety starts to kick in again,I think I'm the type that needs to keep my mind occupied with something,otherwise I start to think about anxiety and my overall health,and before long i'm back to square one..hopefully it might be different this time..take care love Miarose xxxx

Hi miarose

Sounds like you have been having a wonderful time

I can imagine the ages your Grandchildren are that it was hard work but I bet it was worth it

You have done really well & good for you & I hope it will continue !

hi whywhy hope your feeling good,yes it was very hard looking after the kids,took a lot out of me,but what amazes me is when I go away from home I can handle my anxiety better,we walked for 2 mile along the beach,when i'm at home I can't walk round the block,I go into large shops,and mix with people when i'm away,at home I dread doing the shopping,I mean,what is going on?mayby I should move away permantly,if only I could win the lottery..lol take care love Miarose xxxx

You made me laugh , maybe I should move away permantly

Hard to explain , but maybe its we relate our anxiety to been at home & of course all the responsibilities & when we are away we let go & there doesnt feel as much pressure ?

Might be the reason , but if not I hope you win the lottery so you can move permantly
