my daughter is going away and I freaked out

[Felby]

I have been coping on a thread all week. My daughter is going to India on a school trip tomorrow. I have been working on every strategy about managing but feeling the anxiety creep up and up. tonight I stopped coping and went into a full blown panic attack. BUT she is packed and ready, but online i cant really explain why i feel so shit - but ill try, She was all ready but then she checks in with her dad (my ex), and the ex family, and they question everything. and then she questions me , and my anxiety ramps up, why do they undermine me? She is ready, we have got everything ready together, but they get under her skin and she turns on me...

Hi Felby

That's an awful situation isn't it,sounds like dirty fighting at childs expense
They should be discussing with you not the poor kid who's gunna be so confused and you the main care giver is the one that cops the rot, not fair

What sort of stuff are they saying if you feel you want to say if not no problem 🙂

One of the main things I'm learning from anxiety sufferes here is focus on your breathing, read one tonight that sounded good
4 secs breathing in, hold 2 secs, let out over 6 seconds. Repeat 4 times.
