ARCHIVE - Leaving an abusive relationship

Its ok. I have felt like youre feeling now many many times and for me it was an anxiety.attack or just feeling totally overwhelmed and exhausted.by all.the.mix of emotions and stress. It is so so.frightening i know. I thought i.was.having a.breakdown too but i.wasnt. it was just the.anxiety taking over. How are you feeling now? Try a.walk or.just sitting or laying with your eyes closed and think of.something nice like a.beach. let me know how you are? It will pass. You are doing fantastically well. This is just things cqtchimg up a little. Sending love and a.big hug xx

...but like runnergirl says it will pass....the trick is to find a way of managing it when the panic sets in.....distraction is the word.....a walk in fresh air ...a trip to the cinema.....a swim ...or a beauty treatment....read a book...anything to get your mind diversified in the opposite direction.......and the biggie..is to try and eat a small normal meal....a bowl of cornflakes ...a banana....is better than nothing.....better if you eat a healthy meal......equals slow releasing metabolism.......energy....brain food for thinking.......equals rational and positive actions........you've already made a great start in tackling your situation by posting on here....keep posting and good luck...
much love and hugs

I felt similar too at the beginning but it does get better and pass
I went to my doctors who passed me onto the local DV group and put me on the list for counselling which helped a lot. Keep talking to those around you it makes a difference, on the phone, on line or in person it doesn't matter. It eases with time xx

thank u for all ur replies has really made me feel im not alone ,, cus no 1 who hasnt been thru it understands ... iv bought myself some kalm tablets an hav booked myself a doctors appointment .... i cant go under!!!! x ... i took the kids to the cinema but ended up breaking on the way home ... my daughter was asking ova an ova to sleep at daddies house ... i jus started to cry .. i feel awful but i cudnt hold it in ...... i quickly pulled myself together,....on the up side i am goin to view the house im after tomoro .... fingers crossed ....

i think it's great you've made a dr's appointment - it's a good first step in looking after yourself. You really do need to try and put yourself first now and look after yourself - try to eat well and rest and take care of youself as much as possible. I know it's not easy with the kids but they need a mum who is not running on empty. please try and listen to your body and look after self - you don't have to be superwoman! you've been through hell - a lot of TLC is in order i think xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx love to you xxxxx

I know yoy have posted since but i thought id check on this one how.you are feeling? Hoping the kalms helpes. The.kalms sleeps are good ive found. Was just thinking about you x
