To feel constant low level nausea, shortness of breath and overwhelmed? I feel there's so much to do (in the house, tidying, sorting, cleaning etc, and in my work life), and I feel scared to start. I feel paralysed with fear to even start things. There's just the constant load of daily tasks, and 2 kids who require standing over to actually help with anything. They are 6 and 9, one is awaiting ASD assessment, and both need hovering over and talking through tasks to get anything done, such as put away their clean clothes or tidy up their toys. I feel like I'm constantly nagging everyone to tidy up after themselves and getting no where. Meanwhile I feel anxious about mounting mess but unable to tackle it myself. I'm just about keeping on top of daily tasks but nothing more. There's other family issues going on in my extended family which are making me feel this constant nausea and shortness of breath when I think about them, but the anxious feeling is always there.

It does sound like anxiety to me! I would speak to your doctor to see if they can help. Try listening to hypnotherapy on YouTube at night, either hypnotherapy for anxiety or hypnotherapy for positivity, something like that, if you listen every night it could help make a difference. Kalms tablets are good when things get a bit too much. Look up anxiety coping methods and positive thinking and hopefully you can turn it around before it gets any worse Flowers
