About To Go Crazy!

Sending prayers for the safety of you, your family and pets as I post this. I just logged on and noticed you posted this a day ago. Please come back as soon as possible and let us know how you all are. Prayerfully everything is alright there. Where we live in the middle of Southwestern Manitoba tornadoes and hurricanes to occur but not on a regular basis they way they do in your area. What I do to cope with nervousness is breathe...deep inhales and exhales while quietly affirming...everything is always working for my highest good beyond the appearance of these circumstances. I keep doing this because deep breathing wish slow, steady inhales and exhales does calm the body by bringing more oxygen throughout the system. When we are in stressful situations we naturally tense up and the fright and flight response pumps a lot of adrenalin and cortisol through the system. Breathing in rhythmic, steadying ways helps to counter-balance that. So my friend...my thoughts, prayers and energetic support for you and all your loved ones are being sent your way. Hope to hear back from you soon with news that all is well. Raia

Jewel I really hope that you are ok I don't do anything when I get scared as there is nothing that I can do then just hope it goes away I really hope that it did not turn bad and my thoughts are with you

With weather agaries, we have no control over them, if you cannot leave Kenyucky and go to a less storm prone area, just go to bed, lie down with face over your pillow and a cover over you, say a little truthful pray and leave the rest to God!

I have anxiety attacks, and one trigger for me are severe storms. I live in Ohio now (again) but when I lived in Texas for a short while, it was the way you describe Kentucky. EVERY time it stormed, the tornado sirens went off. The best thing that I can suggest is to keep yourself busy. Read a book, do a craft, clean. I steer clear of dishes, I do everything but what I have to stick my hands in water for and then when the storm passes, thats all I have left to do. It's scary, and it's hard when you're having a panic attack, but keeping myself busy is the best I can do for myself.

I understand your nervousness since I live in Missouri and we get tornadoes here as well. The best advice I can give you is to be prepared, take every precaution and pray...they say God takes care of his own. Although this post is 4 months old and I'm sure the threat is pass...perhaps this will help you the next time around. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

Hi there jeweledbluerose...oh, yes, I've been hearing about all the insane type weather that's been going on actually all over the country. My one friend who moved to Northern CA a few years ago, always boasted how it never snowed there..well, guess what, they been having snow. And yes, I've been hearing about the horrible weather problems in the mid-west as they too are having a lot of rain, and storms that can trigger tornadoes, but yikes I never knew Kentucky was vulnerable to tornadoes...some months ago, we too here experienced really wacky weather...I remember it was so windy, and I was watching the trees that are in front of my apt.building and was actually saying prayers that they wouldn't be knocked down by the wind..I NEVER saw wind that strong before in my life here...then listening to the news later on, they said a tornado did touch down...we're talking about BROOKLYN, NY (I'm in Queens area). Now this might sound really bizarre...but some years ago, I had frequent dreams of a tornado hitting my area..uh, maybe I was influenced by that movie Twister..LOL..but the dreams were so vivid...it hasn't happened yet directly in my area..but one never knows. My prayers go to you that the weather calms down...and you too! (((hugs)))
