Finding it really tough lately. I’m post menopausal & currently on a low dose of Escitalopram (previously took Mirtazapine but it gave me a voracious appetite!) I do have quite a lot going on ( DM has Parkinson’s & dementia with Lewi bodies & DD16 has mental health issues including a possible eating disorder. Also DH has high blood pressure & is never normally ill so that’s another worry). I find myself over analysing a lot of situations, really fretting about whether I said or did something wrong. I have social events coming up & know I will have to try really hard not to cancel some of them. One is a theatre trip which was booked months ago so I will attend that. My oldest friends that I’m meeting at the weekend do understand but then my anxiety kicks in again when I think about whether to talk to them about it & I’m off on the hamster wheel! It’s all consuming & exhausting! It doesn’t help that DM once accused me of being self absorbed & I don’t want my friends to think that 😢 I used to be such an outgoing person & always up for a party or night out. Should I message my friends to tell them how I’m feeling? If it was you, might you think “Here she goes again?”
