I've always been a little anxious from time to time, but I feel like it's starting to get bad again
For context, I have bipolar and adhd, which can be challenging in itself
This might sound a bit all over the place, so I apologise in advance as I'm not always particularly articulate
Just before the first lockdown last year I was having severe panic attacks. My gp prescribed some diazepam, which helped a little bit not massively. Kind of ok after that, but I think it was mainly down to lockdown in general and having the option to just be alone. Went back to work, again, fine, which I still am and happy to talk to other people who are working with me, even new people, no issue
But, when it comes to meeting people outside that "bubble" for example, I'm supposed to go to soft play tomorrow with another mum that I barely know, I don't want to go. I can't cancel. But even now I want to hide in my house just thinking about it
I don't know if it's because I'm masking? I'm not really sure
