Can’t stop stressing - any coping strategies?

[twolittleboysonetiredmum]

I don’t normally struggle with anxiety/stress to this level and can normally cope with it by having a run/chilling in bath. I feel overwhelmed today and despite having a low stress day, have just wanted to scream at our kids all day and feel like crying.
Context: am a teacher, finished Friday but have to go into work tomorrow for meetings etc so can’t ‘switch off’ yet. Never do anyway.
Had a brill night out with staff on Friday but equally got very very drunk which is unusual for me and have massive paranoia about it and scared of going to work
Have money problems currently which are worrying as we enter hols with 3 kids
Have a cervical biopsy Weds which I’m anxious about (procedure) results I’m not as it’s routine

Help me sort my head out! I feel if I could talk down my anxiety/paranoia surrounding drunken night then I might be able to deal with other things as they’re all fairly normal ‘anxious’ things for me. The drunk bit is new (and won’t be repeated!) so think maybe it’s that? Or work still hanging on maybe?
I just need to stop feeling so worried :(

A lot to drink might not have helped. Alcohol is a depressant so drink lots of water especially while it’s so hot.

I write down problems and deal with them one at a time. So school holidays with not much money - make a list of free things to do. How old are your dcs? Cycling & picnic on the common. Take a couple of their friends.

And tell your dp you’re struggling & need some time alone. Can he take them out for a day so you can just bumble in a quiet empty house. Or can you go out for the day on your own. When I get like that I cycle along the nearest canal path by myself for a day or go and wander around Kew Gardens. Get some fresh air.
Hope you feel better.

Thanks for the reply - the excess booze definitely did not help. Won’t be repeating that any time soon. Still feeling awful but slightly less so, strange getting so bogged down when I normally don’t

It’s the end of term. We’re all shattered. Give yourself a few slow days. You’ll feel better soon
