Any suggestions for particularly stressful time?

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone

Im just wondering if anyone has any advice/tips they could offer me

to help over the next couple of weeks.

1/ my husband is going to be away from home and because im in the

middle of withdrawal im really upset about it - its making the

anxiety even worse.

2/Because I have a family history i saw a dr today because of a

breast lump. They want me to have an ultrasound scan in 3 weeks. Im

sure its nothing (ive had them before) as is the dr but just made me

feel a bit 'extra' jittery.

Any advice welcome.

Hi Sally:

To start with you have a life line in this group, who are all here

routing for you. Would it be possible to have a friend or other

family member come and stay with you while your hubby is away? Maybe

if not the whole time part of the time. I know energy level is

generally low but make a few dates to do something with a friend even

if it is just to go have a soda. Having a few little things to look

forward to may help the time pass more quickly and keep your spirits

up until he is home.

When going for the ultrasound have somebody go with you. Don't go

alone.

Take one day at a time, even one hour if that is what it takes.

Dear Sally

I have read your concerns about this up-coming week in several

threads and I have tried to get some pointers to you on previous

occasions.

This list believes that taking a mineral supplement called magnesium

can help in situations of anxiety.

There are a couple of ways to take magnesium and much has been

written in this list by seasoned posters who have taken it and who

endorse the fact that it brings relief to this horrid symptom.

Magnesium and calcium can be alternated, again much is posted here

in the threads and in the files kindly prepared by & Kim

Drinking water with fresh squeezed lemon is another old stalwart.

If anxiety builds or anticipation of anxiety .............and

manifests itself as panick then the thing this list considers is

Aconite nap 30c

***********************************

If you need any help to source reliable minerals in your

area ..........give me the location of large town or city near you

and I'll use the store locator to find you a health food store that

sells brands of supps known to work.

Thankyou for the messages of support!

(Ive got a very good independent health food shop near to me so will

do a search on the site for the advice on magnesium.)

Hadn't heard about the water and lemon!

(Ive got some aconite - just in case.)

Thanks again.
