You'll b fine, I'M praying 4 u

I take my temp/bp all the time to make sure I'm OK.Think your temp is normal range so don't worry(easier said than done I constantly worry over stuff) Don't use Dr Google because he can make you stress even more!If you are concerned and live in the UK give 111 a call! It can't be easy for you when your son has problems as well.

Take care

Thanks kath x :)

in reply to numb1234

Hey how did it go when you rang Boots~did they say your temp was OK?I try not to do mine all the time now if I can help it,but a bit like a comfort blanket to make sure aok(not done it 2 day but did yesterday)

Are things any better with your son?It must be a terrible worry for you when he has such dark thoughts~I hope both him and you are getting support through this time!

Take care

Hi Kate .. boots wortied me said low... but rang 111 . She said maybe was cold .. but happened again last night .. I'm got ear one .And one put under tounge. . Reading on that one's low weather .. not reading right not sure ear ones more correct .. but not feeling great today ferl fighting stop my self going over edge hun .. anixery really mess with head .... son getting help yes .... me can't take pills so fight best can .. worry end up away as sopose me feel losing contol don't now much about anixery sign or not ... very kind you to ask thanks Kate xx hope your ok dine well 2 days I take mine every half hour x

in reply to numb1234

Oh hey think you are taking temp far 2 much! All sorts of things can alter your temp~ie having a cuppa going in the bath etc! I think you need to speak to your doc about your fears its not doing you any good at all~ think all this stuff with your temp making your anxiety worse!I know I do take mine quite a bit but at most just once a day!I don't take meds either tried antidepressants but made me a lot worse and took ages to get out of my system!Pleased to hear your son is getting help,but you need to look after yourself as well!I find my anxiety is worse when I have time to dwell on stuff and my mind goes into overdrive!I worry about everything!!

Try and wean yourself off doing your temp so much,I know its easier said than done,but doing it is stressing you out far too much and won't help!

Let me know how you get on,try and chill out,have a relaxing bath and watch some TV to try and take your mind off it all

Why trying fight it alone . But need do things u say puy mind off things thinking off all time mean checked out hosp just over 10 days ago xxx jill

in reply to numb1234

Well try and remember that all sorts of things can alter your temp, age lifestyle etc!Pleased you ve had a bit of relaxation it can help us worry heads a bit.Try your hardest not to take your temp til say 2 morro am wen you wake up,If you feel OK in yourself try not to worry!

Hope you sleep well (I can get off to sleep but have terrible early morning anxiety + that's when panic takes over)Oh I don't know this anxiety is a terrible illness!We just have to do our best to carry on!Keep :) know how hard this can be at times~Im really good at hiding my anxiety and people think I m a happy confident person!(ha ha tears of a clown and all that ~ that's me!!)

Hi Jill well back to work for me again to day and been awake most of the night worrying!Had usual early morning anxiety, mine comes and goes during the day but least bit thing can trigger off panic(I can get sort of electric shock feelings through my body)!

Hi Jill,yep work OK I always worry first day back tho.Good you haven't took temp so much!I often get that "electric shock" feeling when panic/anxiety takes over its awful!Try and keep strong, with temp ! When you get that sickly feeling try drinking ginger or peppermint tea,it can soothe the feelings!Well off to work in 5 mins or so~ take care you are doing really well~ and hope things not too bad with your son!

in reply to numb1234

Oh Jill sorry to hear you are having a bad day!know how you feel mate,I got my car back which I was pleased about.and then I was just sitting relaxing and all of a sudden I could feel panic rising up!So had a few drops of rescue remedy to calm myself down! Unless you suffer like we do no one understands these terrible feelings of dread!You have so much to deal with as well, sorry your son no better but at least your little granddaughter a gem!

You take care ~ you are a dear friend to me even though we have never met~I wish you lived next door!:)

in reply to numb1234

Well you never know one of these days we might meet!I know its sometimes hard to be grateful with what we've got.I have 2 lovely sons and 2 little grandsons + do try to be happy with that I sometimes think I am so ungrateful with life!But really can't help the way I feel at times!I don't take meds either, worked 10 or so years ago,but 3 years ago when it all flared up again made me really I'll.Propranolol was fine but didn't want to rely on it,so stopped after a couple of months!

Yep aok with car now at least I won't fry now!

Hope you feel a bit more settled!I know the feelings only too well! But try not to let it take over!

You are a good human being!!

That I hate .. as don't work .. now days so long think why worry as more time think alone ....sure nice have a friend share different things with ... jill x :)

in reply to numb1234

Yep same here I live in a village that has one shop(and that's not very good!) I don't really drive too far I'm not too keen on motorway driving!I worry every day when my youngest drives to work!

When you are alone you can over think things~ that's my problem as well,I honestly think that having someone to share your problems with is a great help especially when they are going through the same stuff!

Well yet again in PJs and dressing gown! (I def live life in the fast lane ha ha!) Tomorrow wen I'm out in my car gonna have air con on full pelt(even if I freeze to death)

Keep :) and try and relax tonight,I'm gonna watch the soaps then read for an hour or so in bed!

in reply to numb1234

Oh Jill you sure have it tough!I am separated (not yet divorced tho) part of my anxiety was through this relationship I never felt good enough(it would take a week to tell you details) I live with my youngest son and 3 cats!Just remember this my friend you are NOT alone! You have me even though we don't see each other~we still have a connection! Try and embrace the countryside you live in~go for a walk and clear your head!

Morning Jill,panic/anxiety in overdrive this morning ,found out the road my son uses to get to work closed due to burst water main ,well as usual off I go in a panic.he just says oh its OK will just use my sat nav + off he went! Been shaking from head to toe,If I'd had any diazipam would have taken it!(he sets off at 7 20) ,anyhow just got text from him 10mins ago to say he got there ok~ he text me every day to let me know he's arrived Oh Jill it will take me all day to settle down!He. goes to his Dads tonight so won't see him til tomorrow afternoon. But as long as he s Ok is the main thing,I worry so much it drives me crazy at times!

Anyhow hope you are OK and will be in touch later when I've settled down a bit!

Went to hairdressers this morning so at least my hair looks decent even if I feel rubbish!Forced myself to go tho!

Seen road my son uses clear now so hopefully I won't be panicking when he s driving home(even tho I wont see him till tomorrow ) I honestly wish I didn't worry so much it just gets out of hand at times! Pleased I only work part time don't think I could handle full time anymore!

Well I'm pleased to be able to msg you.I know you understand all about worry!

What did the doc say to you?They shouldn't make you worry more really!I know sometimes its easier for them to dish out meds!

You did well driving yourself tho even if you didn't feel like it!

You take care and keep:) Thank you so much for your support!

Morning Jill,soz not replied last night went to bed round 10ish and then read for an hour or so!As usual awake early tho this is my worst time of day for anxiety! Gonna do some meditation before I get up ~have. got out of the habit of doing it each morning and must admit it does help(you should try it) Well off to shops today food shopl(I might just treat myself to something as well) I love scented candles which can also relax and calm a bit!What are you up to at weekend?Know what you mean about sending msg ~ its OK to e mail me if you want and if that's better !

Hope your son is doing OK,and you are feeling more settled after your trip to docs!Honestly they shouldn't frighten you!They are there to help not the other way round!

And especially when you are a worrier!

Well gonna do some guided meditation before I get up and face the day!I think this is why mornings are so bad for me I worry about what might happen!

You take care and that your day goes well!
