Over the past half a decade we've had two kids,
a pandemic,
had to quit my job as couldn't afford childcare (2nd child was unplanned),
Rush to get a new job in order for children to socialise during pandemic due to 30 hours childcare funding.
Lost that job due to being temporary.
Got a new (full time job and kids have started school).
Christmas and cost of living has set me over the edge. Been teary in January and don't think I've processed the pandemic due to being busy with two children. Got to the point where I've been anxious and afraid of being alone.

Sorry you are feeling this way. It sounds like you've been under a lot of stress. Have you thought about seeing your GP? Or you could start with an online anxiety course if you're not ready for that. Or maybe you have sought some help already?

I'm going to see a counsellor. Modern life is crazy at the moment. Things are so expensive. Don't think anyone is fine.

I agree that modern life is crazy.... I feel like I'm on a treadmill that just gets faster & faster.... Take care ❤️
