I don’t know what’s wrong with me but I’m hoping someone can point me in the right direction to get help: I feel really overwhelmed all the time and feel like I’m going crazy or have had a nervous breakdown. Today for example just going to one shop (boots) with my 6 year and I passed a shop with lots of sake items I just felt I needed to go in and save money do I get there but got so overwhelmed, I wanted to find a shirt for DH as he never buys anything so I was looking at the shirts getting overwhelmed and I asked the assistant to help me find a medium and she said it’s ladies shirts! I felt really embarrassed as they looked like guy shirts to me. I was flapping around looking at everything then finally bought something a school mum saw me and said hi and I completely forgot her name and just bumbled polite hello to her.

I feel like this all the time. Even just going to ice cream shop with my kids I get overwhelmed and I’m worried as they get older they will think I’m crazy. It’s mostly when I have to do a task with my kids I feel like this but honestly not even because of them I’m like this even when I’m alone bad they are in school. What is wrong with me?

Anxiety, panic attacks? Are you generally stressed out?

Thank you @Dangermoo yes I am generally quite an anxious person

I’m the same, I get flustered, kind of panic and forget what I need, it’s hard to explain but I can’t look it’s like I’m not able. I think it’s anxiety, I admit I’ve pushed myself to go out into those places more often and it does seem to help

Go and get a check up with your GP. It could be thyroid, vitamin deficiency such as anemia, low B vitamins or Vitamin D, perimenopause or any number of causes.
