Having another breakdownz

Having another breakdownz

Hi everyone and anyone,

i am really struggling tonight, im not sure why, im crying and having severe panic attacks. it was mums birthday today and i tried to give her the best day possible. she is 77, maybe that has something to do with it. i have severe seperation anxiety from my parents, the last time i was away from them for the night was 1994.

im not sure how i will ever cope once she is gone.

im sorry i am really struggling tonight. i have not been sleeping well and have not been feeling well for a while now either.

@Jacques I hear you, and I am sorry to hear of your struggle. Have you been to the Dr for a check up? I can relate to how you feel, hopefully we can support each other, and give each other comfort. Have you tried any yoga breathing techniques, there is one that I use, and it is very effective (nostril breathing technique). It helps calm the nervous system and thus reduces your anxiety and stress level

hi @oceangirl mum has made me a doctors appointment for monday. i so hope they can find some way to help me sleep or gain control of the anxiety. im so so exhausted. it is so hard to keep doing this day after day. yes i am trying every thing i know but it is not working. the only thing that works is having constant noise to drown out my thinking. but it is not a solution.

@Jacques Glad to hear you have a supportive mum, and it is brave of you to ask for help. Anxiety and stress and mental health struggles can impact your sleep, I find getting some vitamin D from the sun in the morning, it will reset your body clock. And taking different supplements might help too, and natural sleep medication, might help too. Keep your chin up.

thank you @oceangirl the pharmacist suggested the same thing, to get a bit of sun, i was outside most of the day. she gave me some night meds that are different to melatonin, so will be interesting to see how they go, im a bit more settled tonight, hopfully i can stay settled.
