I’ve been suffering anxiety most of my life. It’s gotten worse since the kids as more things to do. I’m finding other people really annoying. I often feel if I could just not interact with anyone how peaceful life would be but it’s not fair for my little kids, so obviously I don’t.
something that’s really pissing me off is my child’s best friend is having a party next weekend. The mother has asked me to keep it free but has not given any other details! I feel I’m stalking her by asking, she doesn’t reply straight away either - she responds to my texts 3 or 4 days later which pisses me off further. I have a lot going on the weekends so if she can at least tell me the date and time I will keep it free and move around things. It’s so frustrating. You have to give a week notice for the kids weekend classes otherwise still charged, so if the party clashes with the classes I’ve lost my money plus I need to get grandparents to look after the other child as I’m not going to take her to another kids party when not invited.
She’s not the only one I have lots of family and other “friends” like this. DH thinks it’s all me as I’m super organised and others not like me and I need to chill.
It’s really frustrating. It’s not just this lots of things like this annoy me. How do the rest of you cope?
