[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 716086, member: 13542"] Well, I'm still up but it's only 10:30 here (CA). Reading a long I so remember feeling as you two do, not able to sleep, ruminating, worrying, crying, desperate....I'm so sorry, it really sucks to feel that way. Here are a few things that may help. *Deep breathing. It shifts the brain out of fear. Take 5 deep breaths. Relax. Then take 5 more. *Go on YouTube,they have guided meditations for everything, fear, anxiety, depression, worry......I like the Honest Guys & Deepak Chopra...give it a try, it helps calm the mind down. *There is an Ap on my cell phone called 'Calm', it has meditations you can plug into and I've found them to be very relaxing. *Drink warm milk, if you have any saffron, that combination works well. If not milk and honey will work. *look up reflexology which are points in the hands and feet that correspond to various organs....when rubbed, they can produce a calming effect. *google jin shin shiatsu, find the charts on the hands, each finger represents a feeling, worry, fear, etc. it will show you how to hold on to each finger and relax. It works. All of your worries will be there tomorrow. There is nothing you can do tonight. Put all your worries in a little box and tell yourself that tomorrow, at 10 AM, you will open the box and take back your worries, but tonight, you will let them go. All of our worries do not help our kids, they ruin [I]our [/I]lives. Take a break from them, if just for tonight. Sending you both big hugs.....hang in there.....tomorrow the sun will shine and you will both be okay. You're not alone. [/QUOTE]
