anxiety and stress
?????e???g (?y?? ??? ?o??r) asked:


Since my wife gave birth to our son last Saturday, I’ve been *extremely* stressed, as one can imagine. I’ve also been anxious, for I feel that I won’t be able to support my son, and he’ll get taken from us, which I know won’t happen, but, because I’m young, nineteen, I just can’t help but feel this way. Do you have any tips for relieving the extreme stress and anxiety I’m feeling?

    Its normal to feel this way, and by the way congratulations! i would take a nice long hot bath sometime and simply R-E-L-A-X! Your son wont be taken away from you unless both you and your wife are not able to look after your son for some bigger reason than stress. Every new parent goes through this. If this feeling doesnt go away in say a few months go talk to a therapist, but otherwise chill out when you can and enjoy parenthood!

    Sit down in a quiet place and visualize a nice place like a warm, shady, sandy beach next a calm body of water. Visualize your stress and anxiety flowing like a liquid out of your toes and finger tips and disappearing into the sand. Starting with your feet mentally tell each part of your body to relax, then tell yourself mentally that it has actually relaxed. Having finally got to your face and head go on to instruct your mind to relax. Eventually you will begin to experience the sensation of losing contact with your seat and feel that you are floating. This will come of its own accord and not always. This exercise I would suggest once a day for about 20 minutes.
    Every success and enjoy your newly arrived son.

    First of all congratulations my friend, you should be a very proud man.

    Let me tell you to start with that I was a sufferer of anxiety disorders for 13 years, so I totally understand where you at, whatever the cause of the anxiety.

    My mistake was in taking the macho route and thinking I could sort it myself - boy did I pay for that, and so did my famly at times.

    I found what I was seeking here - - and perhaps you will do the same.

    No pills, no potions, no visits to anyone, and proven to work for all sorts of good folk from all over as you see from the site.

    I hope you find what you seek here, and good luck with the young ‘un - you are indeed blessed.

    Best of luck - just do no repeat my mistake..
