It's all too much

Can't cope much more, things have gone from worse to impossible . My stomach is constantly churned up and my sleep is broken by panic attacks : I don't believe I can stand the constant anxiety . My daughter is worried and talks to me to try and help, I'd be lost without her x

Hi,

Sorry things are not good at the moment.

Are you getting any help from your doc? or any where else.

I m lucky this morning, my son has just offered to take my two youngest to school. I then have to attend a meeting at my third youngest child's school at 11am . He attends a school for youngsters with autism. My worries are all over the place and so I wake up always in a panic . Thanks for responding so quick, I must be driving my whole family mad with my state but I try not to share my worries as I don't want to make any of them sad. I need help, thought that god might but is too busy. All is just too much :(

Thanks , I've just taken one but often take about 15mg at a time then get very sleepy not such a good idea xxx thanks for your kind reply

hi glennebright, sorry to hear your not too good at the moment, as others have said diazepam is really good for taking the edge off your anxiety,try to do your breathing techniques to slow your heart rate down, relaxation cds are also good to take your mind off your troubles, am sure your family would understand if you talked to them about your anxietys, your daughter is being a great help in talking to you as well, please keep in touch. xxx

My middle daughter has amazing strength her sister who is suffering beyond endurance and if she is not careful will have a total breakdown, there is where my anxiety lies : my heart aches for her and I and her sister have to be strong for her. It's hard when you're waking up each morning from one nightmare to be confronted with the new day filled with panic , I can't burden the rest with my worries as I feel some of them are too young to take on the enormity of my anxiety. This includes an autistic son that can't cope with change and has only just started to make positive progress in school. I just wonder when there is time to get off this merry go round we call life for a moment to catch ones breath ~ it's sink or swim time and without some crutch it's going to be drowning ~ so I will resort to the meds and support I seek from the kind souls in this scary world xxxxxxx

I give up! Nobody really understands - nothing helps just hammers me deeper into my well of despair x

Suspect several do understand and that answers or responses are, perhaps, stuck in that special dark quandry of social malaise, or some muddy emotional fatigue.

I'm in a dark time in my life - it happens - I try to be strong and leave the tablets alone - so far I've not succumbed . I need to be stronger now than I've ever been before xx

Sorry but I'm overwhelmingly sad at the moment - dont want to upset anybody and so bottle it all up - don't want to be a burden but I'm in a sad place at the moment xx

I appreciate any kind response - things are very hard for me to endure at the moment but it's good to know there are good people out there who genuinely want to reach out and although it maybe transient it's worth everything

There is a book that I feel EVERYONE would be of benefit from reading. It is called (what to say when you talk to yourself) , by Shad Helmstetter. You may be surprised how much difference it can make to how you feel from moment to moment. ( I mean our inner-dialogue).
