Struggling today

I'm Struggling this morning. Had an ok morning but been sitting on my butt all morning. When I get up and move around the PVCs start. I'm just in tears as usual because I'm so tired of this. Every day....I dont want them anymore. I can't enjoy my life with these. It scares Me so much and ruins my day. I simply can not figure out how to get my mind off of it. Sucks.

It does suck. You are in a bad cycle. Are you taking the Xanax daily? You might need to do that for a couple of weeks. That is what I had to do. I didn't really notice a difference at first but after a couple of weeks, I did. I was then able to stop. Your mind is controlling these things and it is a hard cycle to break. I completely understand. Especially if you just don't get enough time without the PVCs to help kick your adrenaline down. Call your doctor to get the reassurance you need. That will help too. I Hope tomorrow is better.

Josie is so right here. That cycle needs to be broken, and it is extremely hard to break. However it can be done, with perseverance, and the appropriate meds and therapy. Hang in there, and don't give up!!!!!!!!!

Yeah I need to try the Xanax every day for a bit. I wasn't seeing any help with it so I don't really take it. Will try that and see. Formme stress is just a constant part of my life. Things have gotten so messed up that it's the only emotion I have. I worry about everything and stress about everything. I don't know how to have fun anymore. For instance all I can think about at Christmas is how much money I spent and how the kids don't need all that stuff. My husband bought me an iPad and I told him I didn't want it even Though I do because I can't justify spending that money. I grew up with not a lot of money and always had to choose on one thing. So now I find myself always trying to figure out what item is the better one and I never get anything. The whole iPad thing kept me up all night stressing about to keep it or return it. Of course my husband is max I don't want it. Of course you can tell my therapist has a field day with me. Well have a merry Christmas everyone
