[QUOTE="TheWalrus, post: 685646, member: 19905"] I was where you are when my daughter had her accident and almost died. I couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, couldn't function. The shock and the pain were overwhelming, and I was drowning in the emotion. I immediately got a prescription to help with the anxiety, which I have never had before. It helped tremendously. Gradually, once the wound wasn't so raw, I was able to look ahead and that helped me a lot. To count my blessings, to see the positives in such a negative situation, and to remind myself DAILY that I would not feel this way forever, this was not the rest of my life, and that in 3 weeks, 3 months, 3 years, I would not be struggling with what I was struggling with at that moment. I might be struggling with something else, but that reminder to myself every day that this moment was not frozen in time helped me a lot. Take care of yourself, be kind to yourself, be careful not to let this impact your self-care and health. It is tempting to just give in to those negative emotions and let them take over, but don't. This is a valley, albeit a deep one. You have many peaks left and gorgeous views in the future. [/QUOTE]
