how do i cope with this? I am living a life, feel like i am in overdrive but it also doesnt feel real. Im a single parent to 5 yr old, late 30s. Have had anxiety and depression on and off and i am just about functioning. I am on edge constantly, dont feel i can connect with my son, however do loads with him, feel detached, on the outside, not part of anything. I think i am spending too much time alone (albeit with my son).. feel like have constant thoughts in my mind, must do this and that and trying to always be in control, but hard to keep up. I almost feel like i am not living on the same planet as others! and Im finding boundries, social situations hard but deal with it..struggling to adjust following divorce, feel like i dont know who i am, what my identity is, where i belong :-( sometimes feel like im having a breakdown but keep going :-(what the hell is wrong with me?
on plus side, i have healthy happy child, own my own home, am working in a fairly decent job, but feel detached from people even when i am with them, Im not there, but not sure where i am! will it go in time?
