carolyn it might seem selfish to do it, but im sure that your LO would love to see her granny and her granny to see her, even if your only doing it to get some sleep. could you try taking a nap when your LO naps? i know thats easier said then done, but it might help. once or twice when LO gets up, i give him his milk and put him in his bouncer next to the bed while i get a bit more sleep, it might be 30minutes, it might be an hour till he stats fussing for some attention, but if im so tired im fallin aslep when i just got u, i know i need it and we'll both be better for it.
eblondie, i understand the safety thing, i go curl up on the bathroom floor when im having a panic attack. i dont know why but i always bolt to the bathroom. having somehwre, anywhere, playpen, bathroom, bed, closet, garden...anywhere to go when you feel you need to be somewhere is a good thing (as long as its not dangerous).
Welcome Miss d, do come back and join us, we are very good listeners and very caring friendly people.
raggydoll, i know 110% what you mean about how you feel, i get this ALL the time. I'll just start feelign anxxious, no idea why, or what set it off, and it wont be towards anything in particular, but i'll walk around all day feeling like SOMETHING is going to happen, something bad or scary or upsetting. and i feel so aggitated and worried all day. it normally doesnt go away until i go to bed and sleep either. though sometimes a hot shower/bath helps, or some dosage of gordon ramsey on the fox website.
I was doing ok all day UNTIL my husband had to leave for work, my seperation anxiety kicked in big time, i refused to let go of his sweatshirt, i screamed, cried, begged, cried more, hyperventalited, cried more. and in the end he wiggled out of his sweatshirt and bolted to his car.
I knew he had to leave, i know he couldnt stay we need the money because im not working. but when it kicks in, nothing matters, i HAVE to have him with me. luckily LO was in bed napping and didnt see/hear any of it. I went and collapsed onto the bed hyperventaliting and crying so hard i was sick a little, i think i passed out, i came to about 20 minutes later, and then curled up and cried myself to sleep. LO woke me about 40 minutes later when he was done with his nap.
and here i am now, feeling shakey, weak, exhuatsed, my abdoman hurts from the hyperventaliation. and i still feel sick and anxious as hell. if it wasnt for LO id just hide under the bed covers for the rest of the night. I refused to anwser the phone to my DH too...i know its not his fault but i feel angry that he left. and hurt that he left. even though somewhere deep inside me i know he had to.
