I can’t cope with anything

[Greenleaves21]

Debated writing this, but I have no one in RL to talk to....I have self referred for CBT against my better judgement as I know there are people much more in need of it but feel desperate. I just don’t feel I can cope anymore. I spend my days feeling sick and needing the toilet. I have nervous shakes on and off constantly, quite often feel tearful. The smallest thing is setting me on edge. I have bigger worries with money troubles, my job, house in disrepair, very young children with their own issues and yet I seem to blank that out in favour of absolutely obsessing about tiny things that would be insignificant to most people. Have started drinking (evening only) and smoking again after years and years of quitting. Either binging on junk food or not eating all day. I look around at what is going on and what people are going through and seem so pathetic that I can’t cope. Really don’t know what to do. Is some of this normal to the current situation?

I would book an appointment with your doctor and get him to do a blood test specifically for your thyroid levels. You sound like me when my thyroid is playing up and I have an over active thyroid! 💐

Have been the same lately. Fearing a repeat of WW2.
