Other than exercise: I can't do that every moment!
The situation is this: hubby is on strike. I am a sahm and homeschool.
We're hoping things aren't going to go longer than a couple of weeks. (They walked out--and were locked out Monday.) If they do, then we'll discuss other options, like sending me out to find work, but for now, things are status quo.
I find that while hubby has calmed down and is in the rhythm of "being on strike" though he's tired and worn out (he didn't want to go on strike and it was against the Union's recommendation, actually, so it threw everyone for a loop)--it is now my turn, it seems, to be a bit freaked out.
I'm having trouble concentrating, I'm staying up late when things are quiet to read and regroup (I'm a big time introvert) and I'm eating! For the last two night's I've had a sleeve of soda crackers each night--and tonight I actually invented an errand so I could go out and get a BIG chocolate bar. Well, the chocolate bar was just sugar--it was awful--and I decided this is NOT how I want to handle my anxiety.
But I've no clue.
So, I'm asking, chickies, what do I do in my down time? Eating has always been a "part" of my relaxation routine: obviously that's really not a good life long strategy. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
