That basically.

I've always suffered with anxiety and depression but recently the stress I've been going through is extreme. I'm finding I'm struggling to function at all - I can barely walk up the stairs.

I'm having fertility struggles which is constantly there, chronic ocd, chronic stress from the ocd, my brain won't shut up it's driving me mad. I'm living second to second catastrophising and thinking what if all the time.

I think I've just finally snapped.

Has anyone else snapped?

Oh hello friends. Yes, me too. The anxiety ebbs and flows through the years but intrusive thoughts get overwhelming and at the moment I'm in an extremely stressful new job. Beating myself up that i'm not being a great parent to my wonderful children. Hand hold, OP. Did you get your dog to the vet?

@iseeyousister

Don't beat yourself up. This isn't a choice xx

Yes I did, I get these weird anxiety swallows where I think I can't swallow and sends me off in a stupid twitchy swallowy routine. Whilst going through that lol I did manage to speak to the vet. Thank you
