So stressed and anxious I can't function. Doing all the usual things. Any other suggestions?

Basic background, emotionally abusive childhood. Currently have ds1with SEN, (plus DH and ds2)

On ecitalopram, talking therapy weekly. Not a danger to myself or others, so no additional help from docs.

But gradually stopping functioning, can't make any decisions, worried I won't get the kids out of the door for school, can't go to a supermarket as decisions on what to buy too hard, any decision too hard.

No extended family support at all. Really worried I will just stop functioning totally.

Don't know what to do. It feels like the only other thing the docs offer is locking you up if you are a danger to yourself (which I'm not).

Shouldn't there be something in between to help so that I don't just totally stop? And what, if anything, happens if I do.

Have you told your doctors how you are feeling? Not sure who your talking therapy is with, but you need to make sure that medical doctors know what is going on - it could be that you need or at least could try different medication, for example. You certainly shouldn't have to live with this, I'm sorry you're struggling so much :(
