Anxiety Attacks. - Page 4

Oh I can so relate to poorly timed moves. When I moved a few months ago, my schedule went like this: The weekend before I moved I was away at a four day conference. Then I moved on a Friday. The next day I had to attended an 8 hour class (and turn in two papers.) That Monday I left for my annual 6 day mission trip. None of these things could be changed. It definitely caused me a lot of stress and anxiety....and tears....

Moving in with your parents for a month sounds like a good plan. My parents were a huge help when I moved. I didn't move in with them, but the Sunday after I moved (when I was at work) they came down and completely unpacked my kitchen & bedroom. Thank God for them, because it's possible that to this day neither room would be unpacked if they hadn't.

I just really want to ditto using breathing techniques to deal with anxiety attacks. I used to get them a lot, and the best way for me to deal with them was to close my eyes, concentrate on slowing down my breathing, then when I was feeling calmer, find something that I could work on in my immediate control, & work on that.

And if that didn't work, I'd start drinking until I forgot what I was stressing about.

Poorly timed moves?

We had that happen - POURING rain - 2 inches of rain in less than 48 hours

Coping?
Tea. Reading. Exercise. Petting a cat. Or a dog.

Or I make lists but you've already been offered that advice.

Take it from an expert (who is responding too late)... it takes sacrifices (and this is one of independence) to get yourself forward. I think you've made a wise choice.
