Well my hubby is away in another state for training with the military for 2 weeks. I know it doesn't seem like long but I am NOT handling as well as I would like. I have a 13yr old boy and 4yr old girl and I am 7 months pregnant. So I feel ALOT of pressure to stay calm and take care of the kids and animals. I will say I am doing a bit better than I expected. I honestly expected to drop hubby off at the airport today and completely freak out and have wave after wave of panic attacks. I had anticipatory anxiety before dropping him off but the panic attacks have not happened yet. I do however feel on the verge of panic and am struggling to maintain. Seeing as how I am pregnant it kind of limits the meds I can take that are fast acting. My psychiatric nurse practiitioner says no meds like that are available to me. I just hope I can keep this low level of anxiety and not spin out of control. Usually once I get to panic state it doesn't go back down. I just keep trying to take it hour by hour and cheer myself on but even with my kids here I feel lonely, vulnerable and struggling for control. This is stupid to me. I used to be the kind of person who was fine by herself. I liked being by myself. Now here I am hating it and wanting desperately to get my hubby back. Ugh 2 weeks!! I know I am being a baby right now but I have to vent. Please please pray for me and I will pray for you as well. Pray I sleep fine and eat fine and can get through this and that my pregnancy is unaffected by the stress of this situation. God bless!
Hubby is gone for two weeks and I am struggling
