HI NY-Girl
Well, no wonder you are so stressed out - being over in cold london, rain every day, no friends nearby, little work or friendly situation for work, too much airplane ttravel, hubby out of town a lot, no kids to drag you down every day.
You need to think - restricting yourself to the home is a disaster - you cannot afford that luxery. You need to work hard to break out as quickly as possible - but take small steps.
You need to set up a laison with a doctor (if that is possible in london) - you need meds for in-case when you get a really bad attack. You need to be able to call in to review your new symptoms. You need to put a symptom ledger together to identify what symptoms have been reviewed and shown to be just panic. You need to come back here much more.
We care and we will help you. You can call this "NY panic city mdj". Cuse we do panic right.
We understand and will work with you. You are no longer alone.
Would you consider borrowing a kid or two - once and a while to help you and the mom ....could bring you so much joy and certainly would bring the mom some joy. But try to find one who does not wear diapers - they are so messy.
You need to set up chores to ge tyou out of the house ASAP. How about volunteering in the local hospital. You only need to work for a few hours at each time. How about joining a gym so you can tone up and meet some new friends. You are very pretty - so the people will hit on you very quickly. That could be a help. We all need friends. Being out of your element and alone - that is very hard on the stressors.
Go to the local church or whatever you like and join some clubs to meet people.
Most of the social organization i noted in good old london was the pubs - and their delightfully large pints of beer. Wow - could not walk a straight line for weeks.
We are so glad you have come to join us - work with us.
Hugs, and pudding, Raoul - ttfn
