Got to pick up DS in 10 minutes and feeling really bad not sure if can leave house

[ksld]

Can't stop crying am jumpy and anxious, can't go up to the school like this. how do I calm down and stop?

I have no knowledge or experience of mental health problems,so don't want o say the wrong thing.
Also,I don't know if thereis a background to this.
I can only give you practical advice,which is.... if there is noone else to pick up your child,you are going to have to do it.
So go to the bathroom wash your face in cold water,get your shoes on and go and get him. That's all you can do for now.
I hope you are able to speak to someone who knows more about the emotional/mental problems you are going through

I am not sure what your mental health issues are but I suffer from anxiety and this will sound odd but if I feel very jittery, something very physical seems to stabilise me - so if you can walk very briskly and "walk through" the anxiety then you may find you calm? I have a mental image in my head of breaking the anxiety barrier when I walk and I actually find now I only need to walk a few metres before I can hit it. At one time it would take a good while. Also things like, jumping on the spot and then making my whole body relax after helps.

Good luck x

How did it go ?

Hope you are ok?x

I hope you are ok ksld

Sorry coming back to this very late - real life took over at the weekend.

Thanks to all - yes managed to pick DS up alright and blamed the state of my face on hayfever; which I expect no one believed, but made me feel better. Am struggling with anxiety at the moment - sometimes it comes on so strong I feel completely out of control. Better today.

Glad to hear you are ok.Was getting worried! I hope you are able to speak to a friend/professional in rl to help you through this x
