hi pam, and thanks for your support. i had been doing my abc’s, but i was
doing them for more general situations, nothing really specific. of
course, the ones that came up were unexpected.
yes, when those crises came up, i did actually step back to narrow down
exactly what the physical symptoms were, and most of them i could take
care of, one way or another (according to abc’s i already had written
down), but the overwhelming one, which i was totally unprepared for, was
this incredible pressure in my head that wouldn’t go away. so now i know
i can feel this, any suggestions on how to deal with it? i’m sure it’s
anxiety-related (one crisis was my mil having to go by ambulance to the
hospital with heart problems, and she’s on the other side of the country;
another was my son having major life problems, and he’s also on the other
side of the country) and i’d like to nail this down a bit more, knowing
it could possibly come again.
another downfall of mine, maybe, was feeling a tad smug for going 9 days
smoke-free, my longest ever without nicotine aids of any kind. i have to
admit the strong feelings i experienced caught me by surprise. so if you
have any words of wisdom for helping warren to help me deal with this
head pressure thing, i’d sure appreciate it.
still, i’m looking forward to tomorrow.
peg.
