Stress

I am a naturally anxious person but lately if something doesn't go to plan it feels like the end of the world even when it's really not and it makes my anxiety and stress levels rise. Poor DH is getting frustrated with me but I feel like I can't help it

Anyone else?

    Well I was on anxiety meds for a number of years and since I've been off for 5+ yrs it feels like I can control it a lot better, but i do understand. My DH is in an ongoing nasty custody battle which is hard on his 7 yo S. This totally stresses me out in addition to being a FTM FP. I do a lot of self talk when my mind starts to race. I say STOP a lot in my head, as cheesy as it may sound. Sometimes I have to say it several times to change my course of thinking. I try to visual something that makes me happy. Trees, clouds, the ocean....just know that everything is going to turn out how it's supposed to and worrying wont change things or make them better. Deep breaths and you'll survive!
