Strange feeling overwhelming me

I've had this happen before, but this time I can't seem to shake it. I get this warm sensation around me, then sort of a panicky feel and then feel like something is desperately wrong with some one. Like I said, this has happened before. Once the day before my grandmother died, which I had a huge connection with in many ways I didn't even know until she was gone. Another time was right before one of my dad's heart attacks and once when he was having open heart surgery (while we were waiting and I was in the bathroom) I could see him fighting for his life. The dr told us they had to revive him on the table. Okay, so I've called all my family members and everyone seems to be okay (which I have quite a few extremely ill). But what is this all about and why can't I shake it still yet today?

Thanks for listening,
Chris

Thanks for that reply Carol. I think you are right. Lately I've been feeling like something is missing in my life and just can't figure out what. There's a hole there that feels like it can never be filled. Things just don't feel right. I am seeing a therapist and we are beginning to work on this, but some days are hard. And I think that feeling overwhelmed me and got me to thinking too much. And putting too much into it. It's been a rough year for my family so far and it's only March. Both my parents are very ill and I'm trying to take care of them, my FIL just found out he has 2 types of cancer, both in their last stages and can't get his blood count right to start chemo. Plus I just had surgery in January and still don't feel right. Then all this flu going around. Just hope this year gets better.

Oh Chris no wonder your feeling down and overwhelmed. You've had so much to deal with in such a short time that you're probably feeling very stressed and wrung out. Caring for anyone who is ill is extremly stressful and to have to look after both your parents as well as the added worry of your FIL and all of this when you're still technically in recovery yourself!!!

One of the best antidotes to stress can be deep breathing. You may already do this but if not and you get the chance to spend even 10 minutes a day relaxing and concentrating on your breathing can help.

I will keep you in my prayers and thoughts and also send some distance healing for you and your family.

(((((Hugs))))) Carol

Have you considered the possibility that you are the one being hugged, that you are being given a circle of warming Light?


Just a thought...
