Hi,
I writing here cos not really comfortable talking to anyonein real life and wondered if someone could help.
Im 30 and a single mother to a severely disabled child who I love more than anything in the world but its hard, really hard. its hard because its exhausting looking after him physically because he is fully dependant on me for all his care and emotionally becuase , and as much as i adore him , he son i planned. I also have a fairly hectic and stressful job.
Just lately Ive been getting some anxiety attacks- tight chest,flutterly stomach,feeling on edge. I would say I generally feel quite low and that I feel like im just 'existing' at the moment.But I think i hide it quite well to my family and friends- I certianly dont want to worry my parents. I cant concentrate and my memory is awful and Icant think to make choices or decisions.I am going to go to my GP but I dont want to take medication.
Im not really sure what im asking really, just wondered if anyone has got a hold on anxiety and whatt can I do to start helping myself feel better.
Thankyou
