Anxiety Handhold

From the outside married, lovely DC, great job etc.. Internally (especially today) completely full of anxiety to the brink of tears. Been out shopping and now prepaing to put the DC to bed. Feeling physically and mentally exhausted. Looking around everyone else has their shit together, cracking on with life and getting stuff done. I feel like a merry go round of not achieving anything, not being a good mum, always feeling like i could do better, my chest feels tight and I am consumed with worry and feeling overwhelmed. Dreading the weekend and having to entertain the DC because I have so much 'worrying to do'. Just that really.

Hi how are you feeling op? I’m sorry you didn’t get a response. I could have written this myself and also dreading this weekend....

Have you spoken to the Dr? It might be you could improve with some talking therapy or some medication? Now is a really stressful time, but having small children is also really stressful. Take some time to look after yourself, have a bubbly bath, or do some meditation or yoga, anything that is calming.
