Stress

I'm starting to have to deal with unavoidable stress a little bit more each day. Some of you may know that my dad of 86 has Stage 4 cancer. He's still kicking a$$, but we now have Hospice coming to the house to check on him every so often.

 

Nonethelss, my point is that I've not over-eaten to this point thanks to the band. I can only imagine what would have happened had I not been banded.

 

However, since things will at some point reach a 'challenging / difficult" time, I wonder how everyone else now deals with stress.

 

What do you do to unwind? For the record, aside from reading & writing on here (or FB), I don't really like to read a lot, so that's out. I find i'm too impatient to read. Go figure....

When I'm really stressed I put on really soothing music and lay with my eyes close and concentrate on deep breathing. It does help!

I'm really sorry you are dealing with something so painful!

Pre banding my granddaughter was in the hospital , life & death for 10 mths and I gained 100 lbs. I hope when I have to face something like that again, I will have better coping skills, or see a professional.

Thoughts and prayers with you and your dad!

Ya know what? I really like the music idea. This might sound crazy, but now that I think about it, I've always found music by Pink Floyd to be very soothing & relaxing. I'm going to have to do this..

Thanks! :-)
