Re: rough time
yeah I know how that works @outlander 
My little buddy has just had his mad - run around the house at a million miles an hour - minute - it is cute to watch lol Now he is snuggled back in next to me. I really should get up myself sometime this afternoon but I honestly don't feel like it just yet.
I started watching a movie on tv but soon lost interest - don't even know the name of it lol

Re: rough time
Keep up the slow breathing @outlander it will help reduce your heart rate and reduce some of the pressure you are feeling. Try this for me - try sitting comfortable and finding a spot in the room to focus on - focus on thst spot for a few minutes - try to just sit in the moment, focussing on that spot and breathing - see how that goes and I'll be here when you return.

Re: rough time
Has your heartrate reduced at all @outlander - it does take lots of practice to be able to do when you are feeling very anxious - I sometimes can't do it well either but keep practicing when you feel your thoughts and feelings are starting to escalate - if you catch it earlier then it is often more successful for me too.
I just asked BB to do this and I'll ask you too - tell me 3 things you like about yourself...

Re: rough time
a little bit @Zoe7 its not really going that fast its the rest of the internal emotions going abit crazy.
i cant even name one thing let alone 3..
i dont really understand this Zoe, if theres no real reason to be anxious then why is it stll popping up and still keeps going up. mum and kids are home, pops quiet, theres no other triggers that i can name- i really just do no get it. it was starting to come down after the other trigger but it has come back in full swing for no apparent reason.

Re: rough time
Sometimes Hon there is no reason but it is more an accumulation of things. You have had a pretty tough week with getting the car, the stuff st work, having bills pile on top of you, etc. msybe it is just your body letting you know thst you need to slow down a little and rest for a while. I remember how hard days like these are - you feel like you should be ok but you just aren't - don't put sny extra pressure on yourself to even know where it is coming from but work through what you can do to reduce it's effects.
What are some of your quicker self-care activities you could do right now?
