Health anxiety since the knock
Notifications OFF
Hi everyone,
I'm just wondering if any has developed a bit of an irrational fear if getting ill/ having an accident since the knock.
All I can't think now is if something happens to me now what will happen to my children as they won't be allowed to live with the dad anymore.
Now any time I go away or go anywhere where without my children I worry about not getting home again.
It's hard work. Just another consequence of someone else's poor decision making.
Strength to all. Xxx

yes definatley and I think it is a normal reaction especially to shock and fear of the unknown, mediation and yoga is really helping me at the minute keep my mind strong after the aftermath I'm moving forward now ..but it never really leaves so it about finding something that works for u, I used to tell myself oh I had a sore head yesterday but I woke up today , I felt like this last week but I'm still here surviving this week I have days where I am so low but more good days ahead now .. everything is in our minds and it's hard to control it but it's also put worst enemy..tell yourself you and your kids ate healthy and you are going to have a great life ahead of anything horrible still to come u will come out the other end a different person but a stronger one ????
I definitely have become anxious about something happening to me. I'm terrified of letting my kids down in any way, frankly. The thought of them losing me too is overwhelming some days. I'm on maximum dose antidepressants (have been on them for 12 years now but lower dose). Hoping that's going to help. Sending a hand to hold. I'm only 2months into this hell and it's really taking its toll on me.
My person is my son, so health anxiety not so much, but I find I'm massively triggered by the sight of police vehicles these days...
Thank you all. It just adds to my Fury that it's another area of my life that he has spoiled!
I didn't get a knock it was a phone call from the police on a withheld number.
Today I had a phonecall from a withheld number and I froze and then panicked, my heart was beating out of my chest and I didn't feel like I could breath. I was able to calm myself down but all day I've felt like a bag of nerves. It's so unfair.
I've made a GP appointment to see if there's something I can take just on days like that. I mostly manage with walking, exercise healthy eating and decent sleep but today has thrown me again.
I am 8 months in now and I'm so tired. Xx

Huge hugs... it's an awful feeling, that heartstopping moment at something you wouldn't have thought twice about previously...
It caught me completely by suprise today. Just took me straight back to that moment.
I've never been a worrier really but now I worry about things that don't even need worrying about.
I think today is really hit me that life actually has changed forever. There's no going back now.

Sending a huge hug. It's horrible when your stomach drops and it all hits you. Try and do some breathing exercises and have a nice cold drink of water. You can do this xx
So sorry you're feeling this. I understand. Thankfully we had already made a will during covid before the knock & our lives went to pieces. I assume that the person we nominated if we both aren't available will automatically trump my husband if anything happens to me. They already know all about our situation but I do worry about it. It's part of the uncertainty I think. Just another element of how this creeps into all elements of your life. That reminds me, I will have to change my NOK/ICE contacts and pension nominations too.
My person is my son, since the knock, we have had a ring doorbell fitted, I'm constantly looking at it and having panic attacks if someone rings rhe doorbell.
My anxiety is through the roof in every say life, my sleep was so poor I tried cbd drinks, because it helped me to sleep, I now have cbd drops.
I don't want to go to the g.p.. its more people knowing, more shame..so self medication was the route I took.

I think we all feel this anxiety- it's horrible. I would say it definitely subsides with time as your life moves forward - but there can still be unexpected moments that trigger these emotions into play once again.
i have mechanisms to help me cope when this happens. My good pal Upset on the forum is usually my first port of call, bless her x

@just don't know - I've been thinking about CBD oil do you find it helpful. Which brand did you get? There's so much choice.
Id rather not go onto medication. The GP did give me sleeping tablets for bad nights but I'm scared to take them incase I don't wake up if the kids need me at night. If they stay with my mum I take one then as my anxiety is worse still when they aren't with me.
I hate that I just can't fully relax any more.

Try the drinks first, I have trip and triphop drinks, varying strength. Drink one an hour before you go to bed.
They can be purchased online or go to your local Sainsbury's (normally in the cordial/fizzy drink isle)
Massive fan of trips ginger and peach, but also the mint and elderflower, very refreshing.
Or have one as your in a relaxing bath, very soothing and calming.
The drops, I have sleepwell by hempwell, I brought it when we went to Yorkshire, it's yorkshire grown too. Expensive, but my bottle will last me 2 months with my usage according to the lady in the shop.
Although, I won't get the same flavour, I'm not a massive fan of the taste of lavender it's the 2000mg one, I have half a pippet and sleep like a log.
Don't have either if you need to drive or operate machinery or you know...need to function.
Although there is no thc in them, it's very calming and relaxing.. I can't really explain the feeling.
But apparently it doesn't work for everyone, hence my recommendation to try the drinks first, 4 cans for £6 is less to waste if it doesn't work.
