To find my mobile phone overwhelming?

I have a handful of messages, some of which over a week old that I need to reply to.

I'm having a rough time at the moment. Split from my ex who was abusing me. I have a young baby. Recently took out an injunction against my ex due to harassment and further abuse. Had to face him in court which was awful. I'm on anti anxiety medication. I'm exhausted. I'm doing my best

My phone is buzzing. I don't want to answer, or engage. I actually NEED this time to just not talk to anyone. It's a way of coping and conversation doesn't help when I need periods of reflection.

The longer I leave it, the more anxious I feel. I feel I need to explain why I haven't replied, but then I don't want to get in to conversation about my shit.

I'm overwhelmed and not sleeping over text messages.

Does anyone else get this?

I do hope it is possible, Old. It would be wrong to force parents to get a smartphone just to be able to communicate with the school.

... and gosh - five or six messages a day from the school? That sounds tedious!
