Angel - sounds like effects of anxiety. It's ok hun. Count to 50 very slowly now angel. Counting is very good at helping with anxiety.Lie on your bed propped up on your pillows. Sip some cool water Rose - little sips ok? Don't drink any alcohol though hun If you feel up to it, go back to this morning's post I did and there is a link there for a radio station that does relaxation or maybe just download the free relaxation music.
Ha! Just read your last posts - do great minds think alike or what? So you're on your bed and no, you don't have to go to sleep hun. Don't worry Rose - the gang and me won't leave you.:) Counting v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y to 50. Do it again when you finish. Have you got a TV in your room? Put it on. Put on some cartoons if you can or a comedy. Keep those breaths nice and slow.;)

Hi Everyone,
I tried relaxation to music and guided relaxation. I am a devout sceptic & so I was amazed when it worked. You can get the CDs in Asda etc for around £5 or in health stores or online. The more you do it, the better you get at visualisation (what you picture when you hear the music/nature sounds/ words) to the point where you can call it up at will in the most stressful situations. I searched out some sites below, most of which have some free music and/or tips or even games. I haven't tried them out myself so no shouting at Tiff if you don't like them!
Before you shout at me, sorry, I forgot to copy & paste most of the addys, so you'll have enter the address yourself on most.:o
Hope this helps someone - nothing ventured etc.
Much love
Tiff xxx

You're going great hun ;0) No thinking required tonight!
Download all of them. Try the 1st one, the radio station, on your computer.
No alcohol Rose - apart from anything to do with worsening depression, it clouds your thinking and your judgement. Have you got a radio?

A few years ago a friend of DH's was off work with anxiety/depression - just as DH was about to open his mouth to offer the "useful and helpful words of wisdom"
i.e. "snap out of it , man!"

The guy turned to him and said "You know if one more person tells me to snap out of it, I will punch them straight in the mouth!"

DH kept his mouth shut and has been much less judgemental since then,lol!

DH then got a long lecture from me on what was supportive etc.
