Hand hold please. Feeling overwhelmed

Hi all. Sorry I wouldn't usually do this but I am feeling really wobbly today. Have woken up feeling shaky and really anxious. Like everything is too much. I have suffered with anxiety in the past following a traumatic experience and I am on medication for it but it's usually very low level now and I was doing really well. I was even thinking about trying to reduce further and come off them. But today I feel like a cloud has come over me and I can't cope. My DH is out with my DS at the moment and when they come back i'll have to be normal and I don't know how I can be. Sorry can anyone just tell me it'll be okay.

It’ll be ok! Maybe make a list. Get your thoughts sorted out. Would that help?

I think you just need to do whatever you need to sit it out. If that means staying in pjs on the sofa watching TV then so be it.
Is DH around all day so that he can take of DS?
Try to go easy on yourself

It will be OK, can DH take care of both you and DS today? Everyone needs some TLC sometimes

It’ll pass. Just ride it out.

I hate those mornings! Sometimes it's ok to wallow and to have a shit day but you need to give yourself permission to do this and you reset tomorrow. What do you want to do today will tour DH understand if you want to go back to bed for a few hours?

Thank you for the replies. I can't even think why it's happened today. I had a very vivid dream about something else from the past and maybe that's triggered it. I feel a bit disconnected if that makes sense. Like my body is moving slower than my brain.

DH has had DS all morning so I should be taking over soon (we try to split the day on Saturday so we both have time to ourselves). I'll see how their morning has gone if DH can carry on. DS is a toddler and a bit full on at the moment.

maybe your medication needs adjustment.

Hi all. Thank you so much for the kind messages yesterday. I got through the day and I even managed to go out in the afternoon for a walk with DS despite the wind and freezing cold, he desperately wanted to do some scootering!
Have woken today feeling less panicky but I think I'll contact my GP tomorrow to see if I can discuss my meds.
