Hi ValVal
Sorry to hear you are having such a rough time today. Is there anything that you absolutely have to get up for today? If so - is there anyone you can call on to help? If you can afford to give yourself the day off then do or as much time as you can. Consciously tell yourself 'I give myself permission to lie in bed and forget the world today'. Hopefully a bit of extra rest and relaxation may help to relax you and if its possible put the TV on or a favourite film you can watch in bed. Comedy would be good as laughter will produce pain killing chemicals from the brain.
I hope things flare down soon.
Best wishes
