School run anxiety

I reached out here three weeks ago and had lots of good advice. I hope no-one minds me posting again.

I have suffered with depression and anxiety on and off all my adult life. I’m having a bad ‘dip’ at the moment. I’ve been using all of my coping strategies and it’s helped. Been to the dr today and I’m going to increase my anti depressants. But this afternoon I feel awful.

I mean truly awful. I’ve not been able to leave the house much this week, I feel safe here. Managed to get to the drs, it’s safe there. The school run has been a real struggle. All the Mums (that I used to consider friends) all stood there, I’m sure talking about me. So I have to wait until everyone has gone to collect my child. Fortunately she will just wait for me. She’s getting used to this. Does anybody else have this daily battle?? The awful school run??

Tell school.
Ask someone to help pick up.
Youre not the centre of their universe they have themselves and own shit to worry about. Keep telling yourself that.
