Guest guest Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Yes, physical symptoms of anxiety, fear and stress appear with my Sister and me as well when we anticipate contacting our nada. Sister gets migraines and upset stomach, I get the upset stomach, mostly, and a tightening of muscles in the neck and shoulders that can result in a headache. Sounds like your symptoms are in that category. I don't know what to tell you; since you are already seeing a therapist I'd tell him or her about your unpleasant symptoms and maybe the therapist can prescribe a short-term course of some kind of anti-anxiety drugs to get you through the visit. I think the only permanent solution to our physical symptoms RE nada-induced stress is to make the emotional break with nada. We have to stop caring about what nada thinks or says, so she does not have the power/ability to affect us any longer. Somehow. -Annie > > Hello, > I am ashamed to say that I haven't written for a while. Recent events echoed in my head to " help " but as time went by I realised that I needed help. I saw my nada after 10yrs at her brother's funeral and consquentially I'm off to NZ for xmas after a 12 yr absence. I thought I was able to cope with her discharging in me but became very ill once back home, terrible, dark insiduious nightmares that have made me come out in a rash.It's as if I am to be punished(I sent her a letter at the insistence of my psy not to see her) I so want to see my sisters and their kids but I still seem to be in the thralls of my childhood memories. I am actually really scared. Could you help me in what seems to be a very difficult situation. > Thanks > TC > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 I read here daily, but only post occasionally. I always feel more encouraged after reading about everyone else! le > > > > > > Hello, > > > I am ashamed to say that I haven't written for a while. > > > > > > We're not going to get mad at you!

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Hi, Personally I love your replies to my strangely abrevieated message, it was a lot longer when I sent it but now that i see it in the shortform I wonder if it isn't better than the original. The one I sent was an an explaination of the whys and wherefors of the " embarrassment " and suddenly I realise that there is no reason for the shame, it's imaginary. So there we go. I suddenly feel much better. LOts of warm feelings TC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
