I'm here and you are NOT ALONE.

You only have to walk through this one small step at a time. Are you in treatment or is this a new situation?

What do you do for a living?
How many kids do you have?
What kinds of movies, music do you like?
Favorite foods?
Maybe focusing on something else will help

OR

Have you tried doing some deep breathing techniques? Or if you feel you can't sit still maybe a walk - even around the block? Do the dishes, vacuum, fold socks - usually when I start with the thoughts and they won't stop, I try to do anything that will make me think of aNYTHING else. Remind yourself you are NOT going insane, your OK, and let the feelings past. Hope this helps.

You are NOT alone! Ughh I have been feeling anxious tonight too...I'm getting stomach pains, and having to coach my breathing. And I have no idea why. It sucks but I always tell myself that I will make it through. And you will too. I usually try to distract myself- read a book, take a bath, watch an interesting television show or documentary (that won't spark anxiety) etc. Just to keep your mind from wandering and making you anxious.

On a side note, the child in your avatar is very cute. Is he your son?
