How Do You Distance Yourself?

Hi Dtaber,

It sounds like you have a lot of stress to manage right now. As you can read we are all here to listen and support you.

Have you been able to find time to work on the program at all? The program will help you to manage worry and take control of the anxiety.

In regards to everything you are going through it is important to maintain stress buffers in times of high stress. In other words keep eating healthy, exercising, sleeping well, doing activities you enjoy, talking to people you care about etc. Stress is hard on your body and caring for your body while feel stressed is important. Also, check out the section on Relaxation Techniques. Practice these techniques throughout the day in order to relax your mind and body.

Hi: I am truly sorry for what you are going through in your relationships right now. A thought came to mind and that is that the husbands are probably depressed and don't know how to get out of it. Hopefully they could get help - go to a doctor and discuss it.

I wonder if both of you could have a bit of the day just for yourselves. Is there a quiet spot you could choose to sit and meditate or do relaxation exercises? Could you go to a friend's place for an hour or so? Perhaps a good long walk. Just thinking that you need to take good care of yourselves, a bit of distance from the situation as you say.

I have been through very stressful times also and what helped me "hang on" was the meditation and relaxation exercises faithfully practiced twice a day, morning and evening. A long hot soak in the tub too, with a candle and lavender scent. Reading helps me unwind too. I know massage therapy works if you can afford it. They know how to get all the kinks out.

Keep the faith. We are listening and supporting you - hang on to our hands.

Your friend, Sunny

Hi Deanna,

I wish i knew also, it is hard to distance yourself because your family are all a part of you, so there problems directly efect you, and the husband bit is the worst this is my husband

works on an off more off than on, has not worked in five months, i am going to work to pay all our bills and he also asks me for money as well, he never goes anywhere has no friends and no confidence, he is a bully and a loser basically

Just today he screamed and went on at me for money, i believe because he knows about my anxiety he purposly pushes me to try and break me he is very cruel.

I told him i would give him money to get out of my life today and never come back, i just printed out divorce papers i want him gone, the problem is he wont leave because at the end of the day i am his meal ticket.

Just watchimg him lay there stresses me out

Hi Deanna,

I wish I knew the answer to your question.....you do have alot of stress in your life. Do your older daughters have a counselor? Esp. the younger one that attempted suicide? Maybe you could go together? It can't hurt to check into it...maybe a professional can help you function in your stressful environment better.

I am thinking of you... vent here as much as you want to. Let us know how it goes.

Take care

Hi Everyone,

So I am only in my 2nd week and I've been browsing ahead a little and started looking at exposure work. I don't feel I suffer from agoraphobia. I can go out and about no problem. My problems seem to stem from alot of stress and I'm seriously wondering whether a counselor would help me or not.

I guess my question is this, "how do you separate yourself from stress?" I am literally surrounded by it and cannot escape it.

And without sounding weird and otherworldy-I almost feel as if I am an empath. Someone who can key into other people's feelings, emotions. It's exhausting.

So here's my scenario.

Myself: Started getting panic attacks in October 2010. Always been strong and healthy. Go-getter, first born, perfectionist..Also raised as an Army brat. Surrounded by anxiety hell.

Husband: A very negative individual. Can't find a job in this economy. And always around-hardly ever goes out of the house-so I have a chronic negative vibe-permeating the house. Just diagnosed with very high cholesterol.

Oldest daughter: 17 years old also suffers panic attacks & anxiety. Currently on 20 mg of Prozac.

Middle daughter: 13 yrs old.Attempted suicide about 4 mos ago- due to issues with school and her fathers attitude (my husband). Today numerous tests to see if she is suffering from anxiety too. Has been complaining of a stomach ache for a week. If tests come back normal-she may be put on meds too.

Youngest daughter: age 5.Goes in for surgery this Wednesday for a small cyst removal on her neck.

My dog: Has a weird rash on her belly and I'm waiting for tax money to get her checked out-have tried dietary changes.

Father-in-law: Lives in the same house and has been helping pay bills. Also has his own health issues.

Back to me: Besides monitoring my own health problems & dealing with anxiety. I have all of the above problems pressing on me -plus I am starting a new online business that puts pressure on me too. But now-it feels as if everyone will be counting on me to pay any delinquent bills and the money is not quite rolling in like I would like yet.

I am also planning on leaving my husband because of so many reasons that I cant begin to count them all- the biggest one- is that during all of the trips to the emergency room for my panic attacks-he never went once with me. When my middle daughter attempted suicide and was in the er- he did not go then either and that is his own daughter by blood. So you can say- a lack of support is one reason I guess.

I know I need to get healthy and eliminate some stress in order to move on and be there for my girls-once I am financially able-we will be moving. But sometimes I get re-occurring thoughts because of the anxiety.

What if I am not strong enough? What if I die and the girls are left with my husband-they will go nuts. Am I ever going to feel normal and strong again?

Anyway-thanks for letting me vent and if anyone has advice-please by all means-I'd love to hear from you.

Deanna
