I had a period of bad anxiety last year but had overcame it but the past 2 weeks I have felt so anxious. It is generally around my health and then also about my children, worrying I’m a good mum and feeling sad/anxious again about missing out on time with them (they spend almost 50/50 time with their dad). I felt I had got to a good place about that and was able to enjoy my ‘free’ time which took me around 4 years post separation to feel. But I’ve now came crashing down again to the same anxious, sad thoughts and feeling on verge of tears. I also feel annoyed at myself for feeling like this again.
I called in sick to work today as I have a uti, headache and haven’t slept, apart from the uti I genuinely believe I’m just feeling rundown, I now feel guilty for not going to work, I will go in tomorrow and I’m never off but that has added to my stress again.
the anxiety I mainly feel in my chest and stomach, tight chest and sick feeling in stomach.
