Stupid Panic Attacks
Youngest son went off with a friend tonight. Don't know where he is or when he will be home. Stupid. He is 18, but he has class tomorrow and already probably flunking. Know I won't sleep well. Wish I could learn to calm down and let things go.
Stressing about vacation plans not made, birthday gifts not bought, yard work, housework...the list is just endless. Sometimes I wonder if medication would help. I am such a mess.

I know that feeling with the kids.I worry myself sick and than cant sleep well.I hope your son came home at a decent hour and made it to class..Making lists helps me a little when i\'m feeling overwhelmed.Break it down to small jobs/chores and cross them off when completed.even if u get one phone call or planning done a day or every couple of days,it might relieve the anxiety.I hope today is a better day...hugsXXXX
Prozac keeps me together believe me! When I was 18 I was a holy terror! My poor parents!!! Let the boy run wild so he gets it out of his system! I have friends who always followed \"the rules\" in high school and college now they are 40 years old running around like teenagers but they just look like perverts! Ha!
