Re: not feeling good
I'm here atm @BlueBay but it's busy Friday -
What's happening? Has something happened to trigger your anxiety?
I'm concerned - you have this huge fear of panic - has it happened yet or are you afraid of starting to panic
Remember what I have said before - the only thing you really have to do and keep doing it breathe - so take some deep breaths and let the air out gently - there is no point in getting het up about things you can't change so put that on your list of stuff that's a bother
Or is it the ex-partner? - the pest - that is something you have to do something about - or your daughter does
Take it easy - I have about half an hour before I need to stop what I am doing here

Re: not feeling good
Ok @Owlunar I'll slow down and breathe.
I'm in a heightened panic state. I need to go fir a walk. I've decided just niw I have to vacuum the house. That may htlp.
I don't know where this fear snd panic is coming from.
I think I'll be ok. My body is shaking. Need to slow down.

Re: not feeling good
Well done @BlueBay
Slow down and breathe first - and then take the walk and get out in the fresh air for a while - then vacuum - then vacuum - that's how I would do it - for sure the vacuuming can wait until last - do the pleasant things first
You have a lot on your mind right now - don't try and make any decisions until later - I am sure you are rattled about the pest - which is what I am calling the ex-partner now - he is being a pest and only thinking about himself and not the wider issues. There's nothing you can do right now but plan a chat with your daughter about seeing Legal Aid - she sounds like a sensible young woman -
Write down what's obvious to you right now and also the things you feel you need to discuss with your daughter about the pest - yes - that is something that would bother me a great deal
But just ease up on yourself - everyone is bothered right now - the unexpected is always unexpected - there are things you can let go today but I am sure the pest is something really bothering you
Go gently - take it easy - breathe first then get the fresh air and exercise and then start a list or work on the one you have already started
All the best - I hope to be able to catch up later - I will certainly be looking at my phone if I get the chance

Re: not feeling good
I'm glad you're seeing your chiro about your headache @BlueBay
If that helps then go for it - this headache seems to have been around for some time - and whatever is causing it - then some manipulation could help
But then - if it is stress related this can help too - relaxing the muscles etc - it used to help me when I was seeing a chiro
And muscle tension is normal but tiring - you do sound better this afternoon
Keep going - keep breathing
I was busy this morning and saw my doctor this after - the clinic is very quiet atm - I had to go to the clinic though - I needed more than just scripts or a phonecall - as in having an injection
It's been a lovely day today but the weather is getting ready to change
Alll the best - I get it that the weekend is upon us and the family will be around

Re: not feeling good
hi @Owlunar @Maggie @Shaz51 @Faith-and-Hope @MDT @utopia @Zoe7 @Molliex @Angels333 and ithers reafing
I'm angry with pest (daughters ex)
he phoned just now and wants little A to go there tomorrow and meet his new friend (girlfriend). Not even a month and he says it's a serious relationship. Really!!!
I wanted little A to not go but I csnt say much. It's up to my daughter. But omg the things he was saying to my daughter is crap. He's so full of himself.
grrr I'm angry.
no wonder I'm stressed. I'm emotional tonight. My headache has gone for now. Saw my chiro I had a very tight neck and upper back.
Why can't people just split up with no hate or anger. It's always the kids that are stuck in the middle.
littke A is going to be so confused tomorrow when she meets her.
snd then you know Whst will happen. Little A will have a tantrum or night terror. I hope not. But it happened last time she went.
I feel like I'm never going to get a break. I'll worry all the time. And I know when you have kids you worry but I feel that it's been stressful for me for a while.
@Faith-and-Hope I can empathise with you and your kids. It's a very stressful time for you. ❤️

Re: not feeling good
It really is a tough time for many and it's hard to stay positive when you feel overwhelmed and stuck.
Hearing you

Re: not feeling good
Hi @BlueBay
I'm really glad you have jumped on the forum to express how you're feeling, there will be so many people who can relate to that feeling of overwhelm and suffocation from being forced to stay inside. You're doing a great job though and being very considerate to the wider community by staying home despite feeling quite stressed about your living situation.
You are still allowed to go for a walk/exercise in your neighbourhood, and even if its raining an umbrella will make it much more pleasant. Do you have a space inside your house where you can have some solitude?
You don't have to go through this alone, remember there are helplines such as life line and beyond blue who can support you further during this time
