I find it hard to deal with everyday things

[MusicMagpie197]

I’m in my mid 40’s and things seem to be getting worse. I’ve always suffered with low mood and anxiety but lately I’m finding it hard to deal with everyday things. Dc are older now but I’m still constantly worried about them, find keeping on top or work/house work just every day things hard. I
constantly feel sick and have a knot in my stomach. I’ve got an appointment with my GP. I was on sertraline years ago when the kids were younger and can’t remember it working much but I might have to give it a try. I just wish I was normal like my family and friends.

You can always request to try another type of medication. Mid 40s is tough due to fluctuating hormones/perimenopause etc

As above peri does this to us but also take a step back and look at what you’re juggling- can you take the pressure off yourself? Because we act like keeping everything running is easy just because we can do it in our 20s and 30s, but if you made a list of everything you’re responsible for you’d suddenly realise how much you do!
