I am going around in circles!!

[Dawn36]

I am having one of those days. My brother has gone into hosp for major surgery tomorrow, which was expected but of course I am stressed for him.


My daughter, who lives down South, is currently in A&E and will hopefully be getting a scan for the terrible pain she is in, so I am worried sick for her.

Meanwhile my head keeps telling me to comfort eat, but when I get in the kitchen, there is no comfort food! So back I come, and send multi texts to them both, then need cheering up, so back to the kitchen and round and round I go..! I am miserable and dizzy..

Hiya, my god you are having a bad day. I am sure both will be alright you need to sit down take a few deep breaths and calm down(i know easier said than done) but all the stressing in the world won't help you and you certainly car'nt use your normal coping mechanism. Janey

Thank you for your support. It is the first time I have been really tested emotionally since the op and it is quite odd not to be able to attack a pack of choccie biscuits!

Sorry you are having such a stressful day. I'm sure both your brother and daughter will be ok, run yourself a nice hot bath and make yourself a nice milky drink and have a good soak. Good luck to both your brother and your daughter xx

You are so right, that coping mechanism is well and truly gone now. I am going to have a long hot bath, and as you say, de-stress.

What a time you're having! It's good that you can post here. I always find that talking (?posting?) it out helps.

I hope your brother recovers well and they find out what is wrong with your daughter quickly.

Look after yourself.

Big hugs Dawn. Having a nice bath is an excellent idea, how about a warm milky drink too.

Its really hard when you hit that first time when all you really want to do is eat.

Hope your daughter gets sorted soon and your brothers op goes ok x

Hope you daughter gets sorted out soon and good luck to your brother for his op tomorrow. I hope both are feeling much better very soon. Also might I say well done on not doing what we all do and eat when we are stressed.
