Stress has taken it's toll on me and life just seems like too much sometimes. All I need is a break, a little quiet time to myself to relax and let go. It's so hard to find that time as a full time student, mom and wife. But it's essential to my mental health to do so.
A walk around the block to clear my head, or just lying in be with the door closed for some privacy sometimes works. But so far the best relaxation I've found has been in my husbands arms. Just having him hold me and reminding me to breath deep has given me a sense of peace I find so hard to find these days. Through all the hard times we've been through, I know those arms are where I belong, where I find my inner peace.
Today was the first time in days I haven't had an anxiety attack. The first day I haven't felt that crushing feeling, my heart beating way too fast, sweat dripping off of me, the migraines and the shaking. It's a terrible thing to experience daily...and I'm so thankful I made it a day free of that terror.
