Hello everyone,
Sorry I haven't been on a quite a while. My CBT has been going very well. We found the roots to my anxiety, panic disorder and PTSD and have been working on getting it under control. I haven't had any anxiety in a while (at least a month), even though I have been through some very rough patches the past couple weeks my anxiety never reared its ugly head.
That all ended tonight. No matter what I do, the second my son (he's 3) says he doesn't feel well and his belly hurts, my anxiety kicks in through the roof. I get this overwhelming feeling that I am going to vomit, but I don't get any nausea (if that makes any sense). I also get the prickly heat all over and I have to keep moving to keep my mind off of it. Does anyone else ever get anxious over their children when they are sick?
I have learned some very useful tools to help the anxiety dissipate, but for some reason it really doesn't help when it comes to my son. Thank goodness I had some stuff to move after he went to bed. It helped keep my mind off of the anxiety.
Coming here definitely helps, and I should have kept coming here on a more regular basis. I will start coming back even if it's just to offer help for someone that needs it.
I am starting to calm down now. I am so glad this forum is around. When I first came here it helped me so much. Now that I am a "Veteran" of the forum (so to speak), knowing that I can help someone in need is a great feeling to have.
I hope everyone is feeling well and I hope to speak with you all soon!
