It's my last day before travel and I'm barely functioning...

There is still l8tsvof cleaning and declutter to do, and couple errands. But few things went wrong, I had the heaviest panic attackm in a while and now I'm barely functioning and so much to do...

This is an instantaneous calming method that I recently learned from a neurologist...

Google "Physiological Sigh" if that explanation isn't useful for you...

It's been researched and proven by neurlogists measuring EEGs and EKGs and MRTs of people doing this practice... It really works to calm the system within seconds...

Repeat as often as needed...

@Ecdysis thank you! Too late for today, I panicked and had to buy ticket so I got it for mid Tuesday. Which I am okay with as much as that's an option.

BUT I'm sure it's not my last meltdown so I'll try it out. I have more to share but I'm mentally exhausted, it can wait tomorrow....

I know this is stupid, but can anyone comment/ check in on here with me from time to time today?
I have maybe 28h until I travel and still hell of a lot to do. And I need breaks because of my back.
Yesterday I was talking with a friend a lot and Saturday too.... but it was a weekend so she wasn't at work.

I'll ask some friends to check on me occasionally today but again, they all have jobs and even though lots is done I'm still scared of not finishing... at all. I know it's illogical but this is one of the worst my health has been ....so please?

Not stupid, makes plenty of sense. We're here

Hey @SeekingAfrica youve been in my heart and mind. I’ve not known what to say but I’ll say prayers for you

 

[Ecdysis]

Hoping things go as smoothly as possible and that you can stay regulated enough to deal with any hiccups... Crossing my fingers for you - good luck!!

 

[SeekingAfrica]

Almost packed but there is so much to clean.... and I'm panicking at every task, seriously.

 

[Ecdysis]

Try the breathing exercise I posted yesterday!

 

[Midnightmoon]

Remember plenty of tea breaks!

Maybe even take a quick walk or sit in the sun for ten minutes. Break up the headspace.
