With things feeling like they were starting to get back to normal, my mental health was starting to get back to normal too. I was sleeping better, experiencing anxiety-related nausea/digestive issues less.
Then yesterday my DD13 has a headache and dizziness, we test with PCR and negative comes back overnight, all good. This morning she says she still has a headache, I give her Calpol (she won't swallow tablets) and tell her to go in, she bursts into tears so I end up keeping her off while her sister, DD11 goes in.
And now I'm just sat here feeling like it's neverending. I was just getting some time back to myself and now I don't have it again. I can't concentrate properly with her in the house. I'm worrying why was she crying, is she being bullied, she says no but would she tell me? Is it coronavirus, was it a false negative? If it is, have I just spread it to school via her sister? Is it linked to her eating which I've been worried about for a while, she is not underweight but she is never hungry and only grazes small amounts?
I just can't stop my head spinning and I'm resentful of her for being home and questioning if she is really ill or trying it on and I just hate my life. I hate being the only one with responsibility for everything.
