Hugs needed!!

Thank Tracy!! I really appreciate your reply. I know we will make it through this it is just a matter of time. I am just so worn down..emotional stress is so debilitating. I am resting when I can.  All of you here on the MN board are what is keeping me going. I come here everyday even though I haven't written as much as I would like to each of you. This is my peaceful place to come and enjoy my time. Hugs, connie d

I remember being that age an everything is multiplied by 100. It is the hardest age to deal with. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.(((((hugs))))))

Thank you Jennifer...you are so kind to keep us in your thoughts and prayers.  Hugs, connie d

I have had to deal with nearly debilitating panic/anxiety attacks and depression....now my has improved to 90% gone since leaving my ex, but honestly its always there. It is scary.  A good therapist will not only do talk therapy with her, but teach her how to manage her attacks with visualization and deep breathing techniques. It may be that she needs to keep trying other prescriptions to find the right ones for her. As long as she continues to have such loving support from her family she'll be just fine.  Even though there are people around, going thru what she is can feel so very lonely, lots of physical affection (hugs & stuff) really make a huge difference.  Even  a very large stuffed animal that can be hugged during an attack can help you feel connected to something tangible so you don't have as much of that fear that you will lose control and not be able to come back. I'll keep her in my prayers, Nic too.

Thank you for the wonderful response. Thanks to for the prayers and good advice.It is nice to be reminded that this really will get better. Hugs, connie d

AAAAHHHH, Connie that is a plate full. I am sorry for all your stress and worry. I will continue to pray for you and your family. God Bless

Thank you Laura you are so kind.  Thanks so much for the prayers. Hugs, connie d

Thank god you are able to be there for your daughter as well as your granddaughter. What a relief for your child to know that "mom" is there to help out. Nothing makes you be able to see that there is a chance everything will work out like having your mom there with you especially as a single parent. Yet, as everyone reminded you, you can't carry the weight of the world on your shoulders and not expect to break. So remember, no matter how busy you are take those vitamins and calcium, show your granddaughter how strong you are, look what you went through this year, and let her gather some of that strength from a wonderful role model. Prayers and healing thoughts coming your way.
