My two small children are fighting, my husband keeps calling me over the phone and our business radio. The effects of my yoga workout. An hour ago is wearing off. Please help I feel the stress coming on, then the tention and headace will follow.  Deep breathing isn't helping.

hey sweetie, when I was detoxing we had just closed on a foreclosed house and had a WEEK to make it livable (it was trashed) which included painting, fixing appliances, cabinets, bathrooms, outlets, etc...AND...I had it do it with my 2 1/2 year old and 9 month old with me..the whole time.

so I totally get where you're coming from and it's very easy to say "if I take a pill I'll be able to handle it better" BUT YOU WON'T!!! because yes you might get a small respite but then you'll be back to feeling overwhelmed (because the problems won't go away) and then the guilt will be far worse than the small bit of relief you might have gotten....

so do what the others have suggested and go take a bath, with epsom salts, drink some warm milk, and go watch something that makes you laugh until your sides split ( ever seen "whose line is it anyway?" try to find some episodes it's hilarious!).

this, too, shall pass..and you'll be so proud to have weathered it on your own with your own strength and no pills on board. when stress overwhelms us the best and first thing to do is to interrupt the cycle of stress - immediately walk away from the situation (if your kids are fighting..separate them, put them into places where they can be safe for a few minutes ( a crib if they're young enough, their bedrooms if they're older), and get out of the stress. put the phone off the hook (or on silent if it's digital), tell your husband on the radio "I'm going to the bathroom, let you know when I'm done" and just...take a break. it's OK to take care of you!

Try a hot shower (or bath if that's possible?) - but a really HOT shower will help with the anxiety.  You'd be surprised how something so simple can help so much.  And I agree with sadwoman - the day is almost over and you'll have another day under your belt.

It will get better with time (I know sounds like a cliche but it's true) - now breathe!  :)

Hey hun hang in there k? I had to throw a birthday party today for my 3 yr old..just barely functioning! Trying to keep my frazzled nerves in check so I wouldnt lose my temper in front of everyone was a challenge. Then like 3 yr olds do he throws a tantrum..right at cake time. Ah ya that kinda day. But you know what..the day is almost DONE. Go have a hot bath, get into your pj's and watch tv or whatever relaxes you. Using is not the answer. God knows it's hard but if you stay strong you'll wake up proud tommorow..not in regret! I'm with ya!
