My 20 year-old son and his wife make me a nervous wreck… I get this way from time to time with other people but it’s especially bad around them. They’re here visiting now and I’m hiding in my room. I love my son and his wife is nice enough but I just start to shake and my Anxiety goes through the roof… what should I do?
If I were in your situation, I would take a valium and try to be around them when that kicked in.
Do you have anything you can take?
I wonder what causes this anxiety around your son and daughter in law?
I hope you are feeling better soon.
I hope your felling better…I hide from people too
I have Klonopin. They invaded my room for a while so I took some. They comment on my shaking… You’d think they’d understand but they don’t. They plan on staying the whole day and my husband is away for the day so I have to cook dinner at some point… this just sucks. I want them to go and leave me be but at the same time I love them and don’t want to hurt their feelings.

This is a really tough position for you to be in.
I hope the klonopin starts to work fast and you can try to enjoy their company for a while.
I feel for you, you must feel trapped.

I really feel for you @Valarie
I don’t like it when people come over to my house, even certain family members.
My anxiety increases and sometimes so does my paranoia.
Take @anon84763962’s advice and try to take some Klonopin, if you were prescribed some.
Your anxiety should lessen and you can enjoy your family’s company for a little while.
Good luck to you!

I go through the same thing with my family and i live with them. This is an every day struggle and usually i take more ativan to help but i’m running low so i have to stick with the normal dose. It feels like it’s out of control.
Just wanted to say thanks and that the day got better. My husband came home early and ran interference for me. Then we went to the beach for a while… so it was nice.
