I don’t even know what to say.

I’m feeling really low tonight. Really low. Today has been bad. Baby group tomorrow - cancelled, job interview - cancelled, event on Saturday - cancelled, DS’ first holiday (UK break) next week - probably going to be cancelled.

I’m scared and frustrated and bored and anxious and not coping at all. I’m worrying about everything and I don’t know what to do. I don’t even know what I want from here. I just want to talk to someone who gets it.

Big hugs your way
i know how you are feeling my anxiety has rocketed too. Its such a difficult time but we have each others supports here x

I know how you must be feeling.
My anxiety through the roof today and I’ve been crying and wondering how I will cope with all this when I already struggle with life.
At least we can talk on here x

I am stressed to the max and I feel like my head is going to burst! Pretty surely company will go under and even worse I am having to wfh so feel totally out the loop 😥

That’s the thing I already struggle so now I just feel like I can’t face it. I’m a single mum as well which makes it harder as all the responsibility is on me.

Do people really think we’ll go into lockdown? That’s my worst fear.

I really struggled today too with my anxiety. It's reassuring to hear I'm not the only one. School run this afternoon was full of school mums with big (fake?) smiles waiting for their children. I just felt so low, and am not type to hide it well, so kept myself to myself.

Big hug. My friend could have written your post. Holidays, birthdays, meetups cancelled. No point even planning my milestone in two months.

Had my worst day at work and not even sure what to prioritise.

Not feeling great here either OP, and I'm usually pretty level headed. It's all the uncertainty that's hard for me. The rapid pace of change. The massive adjustments we're all having to make. And I'm very social, and feel real dread at the idea of months without seeing friends

Please join our happy, calming thread where we’re all taking time out when we can to talk about happy, cosy, light things. I started it as a buffer for those who might find isolation/lockdown difficult.

I get it. My chest feels tight, palpitations, etc
So stressed about everything:
Was supposed to be getting married in July - no idea now
Honeymoon booked for Italy in August - prob not going to happen
Supposed to have been moving house - mine is on the market and we’d been expecting an offer - all gone quiet
Both DP and I self employed - WTF can we do??
DD’s school closed today, so trying to get my head round how to home school

All of the above is sending me mad, but the sad thing is (and what’s saddening me just as much) is that most people are going to be affected by this in some capacity.

I think for many, MH issues and anxiety is going to rocket

Same here, I have struggled with my mental health most of my life, at the moment I have PND and I struggle with life anyway but all of this going on is really getting to me, everything being cancelled, formula etc hard to get hold of, just the whole thing

We will go into lockdown I think because people aren't bloody co operating but it nothing to be afraid of. Stay home unless you need shopping and receipts will probably be randomly checked to enforce it. It'll be a bloody inconvenience but lockdown is a good thing, it will massively curb the spread of the virus.

I'm struggling too as my therapy sessions will likely be cancelled until further notice and I do rely on him emotionally at the moment and will be cooped up with my mother whom I dont have a great relationship with but we have to try and think positive. We can cope with this.
