Help me out ladies. Today I am just super anxious!
DH and I spent the night reading about beta levels and possible outcomes. We had to come to a forcible stop because it just wasn't helping. DH told me he can't handle facing any more disappointment. I think that struck me hard. If he's not feeling strong, how am I supposed to feel strong? My heart broke for him and I can't handle that anymore either. Today I am a ball of nerves. I know I should relax. I'm trying breathing and stretching, but I just can't get rid of the anxiety! I just need a real good cry, but I can't even do that. I'm supposed to have yoga tonight so hopefully that helps. Any other tips? How can I stay positive when I am so scared of the negative?
I'm so sorry you're feeling so much anxiety.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I could suggest is something that I learned in my meditation class: practice mindfulness. Acknowledge what you're feeling (okay, I'm feeling scared and anxious) and then let it go. I like to visualize letting my negative feelings go, usually by imagining that they're balloons I'm letting go of and I watch them floating away.
I don't know if that will help at all, but I hope you can find some way to relax. Sending you lots of good thoughts!
Thanks Jenny! I totally forgot about this. I tell people that all the time, but forget to use it on myself. I also like to add in the image of rain falling softly on me and replenishing me with all the good things I need: hope, joy, peace.
ReplyDeleteI just want to say best of luck :) I hope everything doubles and triples for you! Hang in there!!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping and praying for you too. Love your mindful image of the rain--- I am going to try to use it during my 2ww when the time comes. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThinking of you. Hoping for good numbers!
ReplyDeleteI hope you managed to find some way to calm yourself down. I know all too well how nasty anxiety can feel! Hope your numbers are doing great!
