Stuff in RL is making me anxious and giving me an upset stomach. I can't understand therapy, but have to deal with the other stuff right now. I can't make decisions about things, and have to go right now because I'm baby-sitting and baby is crying. I wish it were Tuesday already, but T can't make these decisions for me.

you can talk about it here if you want, rainbow. Meanwhile, tons and tons of hugs for you. Tues is just a few days away.

I get anxious about my family when summer comes and they want to go on driving trips. That's one. They're taking my precious grandchildren in the car and I worry about accidents. I wish I could control the world but it's not up to me.

Two: a personal matter that I can't discuss here: financial stuff. That's eating away at me, and it involves a family member.

Three: I am trying not to think about T's email and my confusion, but it bothers me. I have to straighten it out on Tuesday, but I'm afraid the conversation will go in circles.

Four: I have an upset stomach and having company--I shouldn't be anxious about that.

T says to breathe deeply when I'm anxious. I'm doing that. I don't want this thread to be moved. It really is about therapy, and how Kt is helping me a lot! I just wish life were easier for me. I know I have it pretty good, but I see the glass half empty. Anxiety gets to me and I've never taken meds so I don't want to start now.

when babies are not actually crying, they sure transmit a lot of peace. Not a worry line to be seen.

I hope the two of you can get into a peaceful moment shortly

(((((Rainbow))))) You can have all the hugs you need from me. It really is stressful when baby cries and needs you right away. Can you rock baby or distract him while you sit and have some tea? What has helped me through really rough days is focusing on my breath, even for a few seconds/minutes to ground me.

I wish I could be there to help you with baby and everything else. You must be cooking for the company, too.

Im sorry about the financial stuff with your family member. That can cause so much stress and worry. Can you put it on the back burner for now since you dont havenay control over it, anyway?

Lots of hugs

((((((((((Rainbow))))))))))
Many hugs for you. Hang in there, things will get better!

Thanks for the replies and hugs. My grandson is sleeping now; he's not the problem! Everything else is!

Blue, the thing is that with this matter, it iS up to me to make a decision that affects someone else. I can't post so much personal stuff here. I may have made a decision I'm happier with, though. I hope you're doing okay.

EEk--I can't read the replies. This is weird. My computer turned them into jibberish! Got to see if I can fix it.

What's going on in RL that is distressing you?

Tay, I posted what's wrong above in my thread. Maybe it doesn't seem awful to anyone else; it's mainly my anxiety about lots of things. Thanks for the hugs.

I feel a little better. My dinner is cooking and I just have to wash my floor. The problems didn't go away, but I have to take 1 day at a time, I guess.

(((((rainbow))))) It doesn't matter at all how it seems to anyone else. It only matters how it seems to YOU.

I'm glad you're feeling better. One day at a time, one hour, one MINUTE sometimes. You can do this.

[mixedup_emotions]

Glad you're feeling a little better. And I agree with zoo....one day at a time, one hour, one minute....as you need to. (( HUGS ))
