Hi everyone...my husband had to take a driving job that is up north twice a week due to a pay cut of his day job..last night was his first night and I panicked! He didn't get home until 1:00 a.m. and then we both had to get up at 5:00 a.m. for wrok and we are exhausted. I tried to sleep but my heart was racing and I kept thinking "what if's" the whole time. What if I have a heartattack and he isn't here and the kids are sleeping and my family is far etc... etc...etc..I don't want my anxiety to hold him back like it has all these years but I need to find a way to feel strong and comfortable enough t be alone and know that I can do this and we will both be ok. I should be more worried about him instead focusing on me. I have to add I lost my friend at a young age just 2 days ago and we are not sure what happened just yet..that's waying on my heart too. Any suggestions how to deal with this?Thank you!!!!

when my husband travels I keep a few phone #'s of relatives and neighbors on my bedstand. this gives me comfort. also you my try reading to make you really sleepy. hope this helps.
