Anxiety... help, I feel sick

[FloridaChickenChick]

When did this anxiety start?

It sounds like you have a good deal of self awareness so as long as the venting helps you work this out, you're on the right track! I hope you will be able to enjoy your vacation without too much worry, although I am sure you'll have some moments of anxious thoughts.

I know exactly how you feel - my cockatoo died while I was away at a stupid work seminar. I was devistated.

Ya know - I knew something was wrong and I thought of not going to that seminar. But I guess if I had to choose watching her drop dead in front of me - or worse FINDING her dead at the bottom of her cage - I'd choose to be out of town. I wouldn't have wanted to be the one to find her.

I'm still not over it.

I am supposed to be going to NC for a week in August.
I am more stressed over leaving my dog,cats, rabbits, chickens and horse than I am about being away from my daughter that long!

I have neighbors that I know will keep an eye on the cats, rabbits, chickens and house. Dog can go to my moms with the kiddo. I trust my barn owner to take care of my boy. But I am still going to be a wreck.

I guess the anxiety really started today. Getting those test results back, though good news compared to what it could have been, and him going on medication, coupled with the heat and worrying about my poor chickens, plus not knowing what the temps are going to be like the week we're gone. I don't know, all the stress seems to have just peaked today.

Ever since my little Lucy died that year I haven't been comfortable leaving my pets, but I had never experienced what I felt today. Talking it out has helped tremendously and I do feel much better. Not 100% better, but better. Thanks!
