Struggling with Everything- Third Trimester

[DancingintheSpoonlight]

Please be kind- already very hormonal and stressed!

I appreciate everyone is going through a lot right now so I'm not special, but I'm just struggling mentally with lots of things to the point it feels like one big thick fog/knot in my brain.

• being heavily pregnant during covid (double jabbed but still terrified)
• close friend has it currently and has asked if I'll take her kids to school...I know they're allowed but it feels too much, but feel I'm letting her and the kids down

-the whole petrol/food shortage/heating hikes/national insurance increase etc

• feel like a crap Mum to DD as feeling so stressed
• worried about her
• being annoying to my partner
• have distanced myself from a "friend" who became very toxic

-feeling isolated because of trying to reduce contact to keep safe but miss seeing people

• everyone's expectations of me

-work stress- one of my managers is being a ** since I came home to work -partners work also causing us stress 😩 -sorting everything ready for new baby

• been booked for a very quick growth scan so overthinking that

I mean it's slightly cathartic just listing it down in bullet points but I'm honestly struggling with it all circulating round my brain. I don't even know what I'm looking for by posting this other than maybe someone to tell me I'm not crazy and if a level headed person/people could help me see the light I'd be so grateful

Is covid a big worry?
Tell your friend you can't risk it, and if she has nobody else, the schools attendance officer should help. They can collect and drop off pupils in an emergency. She needs to contact the school and stress there's no body to bring them, and they will be absent. School will then usually offer help. They are so arsey over attendance now.

@PomBearWithoutHerOFRS thanks for replying.

I think about it so much. If I wasn't pregnant I'd still be cautious but I doubt I'd be as consumed with it. Since the masks rules changed I've particularly struggled (not judging the change, just how I've felt). I've changed when I shop, working from home, who i see but with DD still at school I feel edgy, especially knowing children can come in with positive family members.

I didn't know about the attendance officer- thank you!

Has anyone else been in third trimester with bad anxiety, and if so how did you cope?
