Physical & Emotional Abuse Support Group
Abuse is a general term for the treatment of someone that causes some kind of harm (to the abused person, to the abusers themselves, or to someone else) that is unlawful or wrongful. No one deserves abuse, period. Abuse can be emotional, physical, or sexual.
Have a family situations going on right now. I have not been so anxious in months. Have cleaned house, took dog on walk, fooled around on computer, just trying to stay sane today. Doing lots of breathing. Advice appreciated. Thanks.
I am so sorry you are going through this... I have free-floating anxiety attacks and huge anxiety attacks around family issues- especially those I have absolutely no control over. Some days are worse than others- and it sounds like you are having one of those days!!
I don't know if this will help you, but sometimes I free-form write. I put down on paper whatever comes to mind, I just let it spill out. Sometimes this can last two hours-- but I am thoroughly absorbed during that time. Sometimes I paint-- or go visit garage or estate sales, ect. Anything to keep me occupied. Or go see a movie, ect.
Take some rescue remedy and wait it out... It will pass. Come on here and write whatever comes to mind too! We are a community, and are here to support you with whatever you need...
You are so fine, but you aren't feeling it at the moment. Be still. Just be. It is amazing to me how just doing that...being there...no thoughts, calm, breathing in and out....can bring me back down. And just know the Universe has your back at all times.
It will all work out as it needs to. In the meantime take grand care of yourself.
XOXO
so far.
Is there a serene
place, either physical
or imaginary, that you
can take yourself to?
Is there someone in
your life who gives
you emotional sanctuary,
with whom you can spend
some time, either in the
flesh or on the phone?
Sending you best thoughts
for peace and comfort.
Please take good care.
