Hope the anxiety has passed some, PJS. It's an awful feeling.

If only I drank....lol I used to but I really just stay away from alcohol anymore for the most part because so much of it causes migraines.

I'm feeling a little better as I work....and my hubby got some info about the school and a daycare and so that helped a little...but I'm still having some.

Sometimes trying to make the anxiety go away can make it feel even worse, because you try and try and it's still there and you start to feel like something is wrong with you, and it goes 'round and 'round. Sometimes it helps to just recognize the feelings and thoughts and acknowledge that they suck but that this will pass and things will get better.

And then when you get off work you can crank up the PJ again!

PJSiren

I've got the PJ on again right now....and it's helping. I can listen to music outloud on my Kindle after my boss gets off at 4, and so I'm listening to Lightning Bolt right now...

I'm so sorry to hear about the issues you are having to deal with...just when you feel like everything seems to be going smoothly.

Can you take a nice long hot bath with some lavender, maybe just take 20-30 minutes to yourself to just gather thoughts.

oh Siren! I'd been wondering how things have been going. I sure wish it was better for you, your hubby and Keyton. As SD said, you do have a lot of support here....I hope it can find it's way to you. I think we are all convinced you guys are Keyton's best option (by far). It will work out!

I just wanted to echo what SD said earlier we are all here for you and if you want to vent a little more off the rails then PM me. Sometimes being able to say whatever emotions are coursing through can help calm the storm. I wish there was more we could do to help, but we will do whatever we can from where ever we are. Stay strong and keep the faith that that sweet little boy will come to your house settle in and get on with his life. All the rest is just noise, very loud noise right now but noise none the less.

Anxiety is awful (been there). If not meds, music is the thing that helps me most. Love the photo of Keyton - he's kind of ridiculously cute.

Hang in there.

Well, I'm almost off all my meds because of the having a baby thing I posted about before....so that's why I'm having the anxiety and it's not in check....I may try the cool water thing when my boss gets back from lunch and I can leave the office...

It's just that so much keeps happening and changing and we're butting heads with my mom, and she's now allowing my uncle and aunt to come here in a month and stay with her until they get on their feet....and my hubby wants to have a long conversation with my uncle, which I'm all for, I think it would be good for them to talk and get to know each other, except that my hubby wants to wag his finger and place blame(which I know it does lie on my uncle, but it's like does it really need to continue to be brought up?) And there is just so much uncertainty at the moment and I feel lost.

Sorry you are suffering anxiety but if your not on melds I know Saint johns wort is good for all that kind of stuff as well as mental instability but I'm not sure if you can take it pregnant so just check with the pharmicist at the moment I'm taking magnesium complete it suppose to be a good relaxer with stress but again check if you can but I know breathing is supposed to help and maybe some tai chi but when I have anxiety I have a jasmine tea and feel that it helps me most times
Hope you feel better soon

No, St. John's wort should not be taken in pregnancy or while trying to get pregnant.

JWPearl

Yes I wasn't sure but maybe ask about magnesium complete the great relaxer

Gillycw

^^^yes magnesium is great, plus do you a herbal liquid called Rescue Remedy over there?
I find that works sometimes. I'm thinking of you & your family & I hope things start to get better for you all soon.

I've seen rescue remedy at the stores here, Fred Meyer, Safeway, the big store that pays their employees crap and treats them like shit.

Good to know...I'll look into it....

We are getting Keyton permanently as of tonight. My grandma is coming to stay with us for 2 weeks to help him adjust.

And of all days, I've got a killer migraine....and feel like I could throw up.

RKCNDY

Here's what to look for, bright yellow should be easy to find. It's in the vitamin aisle or in the herbal remedies section.

JWPearl

This rescue remedy never worked for me when I tried it but we are all different so it's worth a try but magnesium is helping me..
Hope things are working out for you all pjsiren

PJSiren

Thank again so much everyone....Your support means so much to me.

We are working on getting everything we need so we can get him enrolled in school. My grandma is staying with us right now to help out during the day until we get him in school.

I woke up with a little anxiety this morning, but it passed. I think once we have a routine down, it will all be ok....

You are awesome, PJSiren. Don't doubt that for a minute.
