Hi. I suffer from anxiety mainly health based. I normally have a good handle on it and I'm fine day to day. However yesterday I got the news that my dad has cancer and its possibly spread from the original place. This has sent me into a spiral.
My ds has a cold (normal snotty nose etc), his glands are slightly swollen. In my rational head I know this is normal and he has these every time he gets sick but my brain keeps spiraling into "what if its more"
I've hardly slept, I have no appetite and I just feel really on edge.
I have to look after a grumpy sick toddler today, do the school run etc and do everything I normally would. Nothing I normally do is either working or an option. Any tips to get my head in the right space and cope with what's going on. Feeling pretty shit today.
