Yeah, this forum is not one of the more active ones. It's easy to feel abandoned when you're feeling anxious, etc, in your personal life.

It's been a better day for me today.
Good to hear.
It sounds like you are already having success with staying positive and letting scary thoughts go. Yay you! Recognize your baby steps and keep building on them. What does it look like when you are not worrying about what H is doing? What are you doing instead? Focus on a positive. For example, would you be..... simply caring about his well-being? Taking more action to care *for* yourself? What do YOU *want* to be doing instead?
Good for you for going to work despite another bad night of sleep. You must be tired. What can you do for yourself today and tonight to have a better night's sleep? Enjoy some chamomile tea and a warm bath, maybe? Also, good job on not saying anything to H about his drinking in the middle of the afternoon. You got it right, there's no need to be his parent. You didn't fall into that trap. Yay you!
Keep up the good work. Work on self-soothing. Do you have any interest in taking up something new like yoga, walking, some form of dance, etc, or have you already started something that I'm forgetting? New interests and physical activity are great for the mind... including anxiety.
Oh, and that is interesting about your H stopping by your work. Definitely something to notice. Sounds like you're doing a good job at not obsessing about it or trying to figure out what it meant. More will be revealed in time.
Love yourself.
