I feel like I'm in a never ending cycle of negative thinking and cant get out of it.

Whats yours ?

Yes my anxiety is terrible at the moment, I'm really low. Managed the school run this morning then came home and now in bed with my 3 year old watching YouTube videos.

Flowers to you.

Yep, I struggling at the moment. Lots of negative thoughts that I'm struggling to switch off.

Go you! I didnt even make the school run. Little one was playing up and didnt want to go in, i was too weak to fight it. Now feel like crap.

Youtube in bed sounds perfect.

I should also be working but cant face it :-(

How old is your little one? Sometimes it's just too much isn't it, I understand.

Life isn't easy at the moment. Take it easy today x

I met with a good friend yesterday and we both admitted we are in a worse place mentally right now then we have been throughout the whole pandemic. It's strange. There is just so much going on in the world I feel overwhelmed and like life is pointless. Not good I know but there we are.

Massively struggling! Barely sleeping and just feeling ill all the time, it's horrible. Sorry there are others feeling the same, its comforting to have some company though xxx

Yeah, really badly. Was doing okay and keeping busy until one of my pets triggered me into absolute panic and despair. Constantly worrying that they’re poorly as their droppings are loose. Droppings have been tested by the vets before and came back clear, and vet said they looked and seemed very healthy, but something must be wrong if it’s like this. It’s at the point where I’m scared to see them in case I find something that makes me panic more. It’s crippling me today but I’m trying so hard to keep going and not let it take over. Hugs to everyone else feeling like this. It’s awful and I feel insane to be feeling so desperately worried and sad about something most people would just get on with. Flowers

Oh bless you @BlossomingSlowly I can totally relate to how you must be feeling. I know once its triggered it somehow seems to get into your nervous system and you struggle to get back to anything remotely normal for a while after that.
I'm no vet and know little about animals but if the doctor thinks your pets okay perhaps it's just a bad tummy because of something its eaten? Xxx

Goodmum1234 · 21/05/2021 22:10

Yes I’m with you all too. Feeling so bad and hoping not to wake up tomo. Have 2 beautiful girls so wouldn’t do anything but doesn’t take those thoughts away

User24689 · 22/05/2021 22:17

So sorry Goodmum I'm also having a bad time at the moment. I have two little ones too, they need us. It keeps me going. X

Magic1231 · 23/05/2021 14:02

@Goodmum1234 I know it must be hard, but atleast you are lucky enough to have your 2 little girls, which is definitely something to keep going 🙂 there will be easier times to come xxx

Struggling here too at the mo. I have this horrible weak feeling in my lower legs too which must be anxiety effects but every day is a really long day and it’s hard to face the world.
