I have to go back to the hospital sometime this morning, I haven't slept yet because I had an awful panic attack (So bad i had to wake my poor mother and let some of my emotions out) I think all the stress and anxiety finally hit me when i got off the phone with my dad, I was so happy he felt better but then a wall of pain and hurt and anxiety hit me, I was shaking, then realized i hadn't eaten much at all and I was sick from that.. I started worrying about the what-ifs.. "What if i get sick too", "What if i didn't eat enough", "What if i have a panic attack in the hospital" It makes it worse that it's in the morning and I absolutely am not a morning person.

Ugh. I feel a little better, i've been eating soup slowly but i still hate this.

good morning to you my friend.im sorry concerning the panic attack you are experinicing.im in the same place so be encouraged in the fact that you are not alone.i have 2 grown children.my daughter called me and came over last night to talk to me because a crisis had just occured in her life.i taught both my kids from an early age that they could talk to me about anything.i completely understand you needing to talk to your mom.i am so thankful my kids know that im there for them,but most imortantly that they both trust me enough to come and share their struggles with me.they know that i do not always have answers and i can not fix their problems,but they are assured that mom has a listening ear.most of the time their biggest need is to know i will listen and try my best to understand their feelings and give them the gift of support and encouragement.try your best to stop listening and asking yourslf all the what ifs.take life one moment at a time.knowing yesterday is past.only today is present and we are not gurranted of tommorow.be blessed,grammie.

Hello there, did you end up going to the hospital?

Just checking in. As you described, our thoughts can often overshadow our needs and when we begin to ignore our own biological needs, our body begins to break down, especially when we don't have food in our system.

If you need further help, please don't hesitate to go to your school counselor or mental health professional. They are there to help and not stigmatize you. Eve 6 session could be helpful to managing the stress of your father an family life.

Sincerely,
Brian
