Bloody anxiety

[inthewoods4]

Hi all,
I've been doing really well for a while then anxiety hit me like a juggernaught. It was triggered by trying to conceive ( had horrible pnd) now I'm struggling. To make matters worse when I was well I booked this week off to spend with dd, but now I'm at home alone with her- every morning I cry when dh leaves. It makes me feel like a massive failure. My cbt counsellor is a genius- he says you just have to get on and undermine the anxiety, but it's so hard! I managed yesterday, I took my dd to London and had a good day, but this morning I feel really low and helpless. Can anyone relate? Xx

It's so hard, sounds like you did really well yesterday - do you think you might be feeling the 'effort' of it today?

Break the day into hour long chunks. It's 9 now - set a goal to be achieved by 10 - then plan the next hour

Hi, yes I feel utterly exhausted- like I just need to sleep. But I can't as my dd is only 3 and needs me. I'm already on 30 mg of cit and don't want to go up. I don't think I need to- just need to get over this blip. Do you have blips like this? X

Thank you. I'm actually out with my mum but have sobbed the entire way. I just feel that I can't live like this- I feel like life is too hard. I know I have to hang on in there and it will pass but it's sooo hard.
