Anxiety Support Group

Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...

WAs the vacation worth it!

Its now the 2nd day since we returned from the vacation, and for me I dont think it was worth the trouble and money.  I am absolutely to exhausted cardiacally I dont feel good, I dont feel refreshed, I feel extremely tired.  Usually we unpack as soon as we got back, it just got suitcases got dumped in the living room and was unpacked the next day.  Any  clothes that need ironing have gone to the laundrette, I cant face ironing that lot.  Emma's presents are still in bags and waiting to be sorted.  Yesterday evening I found myself becoming irritable, due to exhaustion.  I dont usually get like that.  As it is today we were up at 6,30 am due to my nose blocking up and a loud motorbike going down the road, anyway after we had breakfast I slept for another 2 hours, I still feel exhausted.  Emma is looking forward to a caravan holiday in september, but not so far a distance, I dont know how I feel now.  I'm now going to do Emma's dossett for her medications, I dont feel up to it at all.  Hopefully I will feel better tomorrow.


I do remember the good tiimes, but gareth said he hadnt slept on the Tuesday and spent most of the day in the room resting/sleeping so it was all down to me to run around with emma.

ouchie, yeowchie, double grouchy. in my decades as a road warrior, the trips which felt unworthy of the effort i put into them always sucked, both literally and figuratively. recovery from those trips was a far greater challenge than just resting up from the road lag. however, in the long run, those were the trips which taught me the most. by proactively reviewing the parts that were so bad, i was often able to find solutions for the next go-round.

steadying support while you recover. healing hopes that you can be better prepared for the september caravan.

Did you have fun? Time changes, sleeping in new places are always the trade off for vacations. I specifically choose vacations with down time. I never run around trying to do so many things and meet itineraries. the best vacations for me are more than 5 days to detach myself from work. Though I tend to worry about my pets more when I leave as I’ve gotten older.
You need a staycation from your vacation. A lot of people feel that way after a busy vacation. Maybe go for a check in with your doctor to make sure all is well before you travel again?

I have Emma virtually all day everyday except when she goes to day care centre, two days a week, meaning 9.30 to 3.30 which we have to take and pick her up.

Maybe you can talk to Emma and tell her you
need more rest. Get her to do what she can for herself.
Maybe she can help you with minor things for her or the
house when she is feeling well. So everything isn't
completely up to you. I would say to have husband help
also but it doesn't sound like he would.

    When i was in the ER February 16th 2025, i was being admitted to ICU where i was for 3 weeks, then had to relearn to walk for 3 weeks in another hospital rehab floor, the nurse told me something that made me feel for over 18 months now that i was finally *safe*. She told me that the guy who raped and beat me 21 years ago now  almost 20 years at that time, was in prison as of a month before that...

    My sister-in-law called yesterday.  She had some bad news about her job and wanted to let me know that they are coming for a visit at the end of October.  Then she went on and on and on about her job!  She only calls about 3 times a year so I didn't want to cut her off but I didn't have an hour and forty-five minutes to spare.  I barely got a word in edgewise.  Why don't people realize when...
