I had a SERIOUS situation to deal with back in March this year .... (wife had a Cardiac Arrest in the Ba
throom) ...by the Grace of God I "got her back" with some SERIOUS chest Beating (I cracked two of her Ribs) & CPR until the para medics arrived.. up to that point I was Smoking 30 a day .. & with the Stress of THAT ^^^^^ I went right up to 50+ a day !!!!! ...
I had already "Agreed" to only smoke in the Garage (detached thing about 50 Feet from the House) ... but obviously when Marie (wife) came home she needed 24/7 attention & going into the garage fer a quick Cig was out of the question ..... so i took up "
vaping" .. & NEVER LOOKED BACK!!! ......
I think the Anxiety side of things came to the fore during her Hospitalisation ("Had I caused this" / "Was it all MY fault" / had I killed my wife of nearly 40 Years"!!!).......the answer is obviously NO!!! .. but hell it didn't stop the feelings.........I felt VERY VERY "Alone" especially at night (it was Dark / Quiet & there was "Only ME" to cope with "This" if she had another "attack") .....
Then I found THIS web Forum & obviously its "World Wide"...... so when the UK is Asleep the USA is awake I found I could "open Up" to some VERY understanding Members on here who "were there for me" & I quickly learnt I was NOT alone & we discussed things on hundreds of subjects & my anxiety lessened ..........
My advise toyou is ... if EVER you feel you need to "Talk" or feel the need to "hear a friendly "Voice" to take away the Anxiety you feel" you could do NO BETTER than Post a thread on here & just "CHAT" ....... you would SERIOUSLY be amazed at the depth of Feeling & Knowledge members have on here ........
So, dont be Shy, if you feel the Anxiety Creeping on .... Sit down, Log on, & Chat away ..... You'll get the very same "Treatment" as you would if you paid out $1000 for sitting / lying on a "professionals" couch ...... & after 15 or 20 minutes "Chatting" that little voice in yer head will say ...... "ANXIETY?????? .............. WHAT ANXIETY .... I feel FINE NOW"
STAY SAFE KIDDO ..... Yer amongst FRIENDS HERE!!!!!
Very inspirational, I will be praying for you and your wife. I'm really glad
vaping has helped you, PM me if you ever want to chat or something. I'm practically awake 24/7 haha.
