not doing so good lately

[Disenchanted3]

readsomething tonight thats set me off,

feeling really shite and crying, wont sleep properly tonight.

still waiting for CBT initial assesment, feel like i really need to see them soon

Are you OK?
What's the problem? I am on the waiting list for CBT to help deal with anxiety but tbh I've been able to do things in the waiting time to make me feel that I am living a proper life rather than one ruled by anxiety iyswim? Can I help?

my anxiety is wide spread but mostly about my kids and fears about something happening to them.

I read something in the news and now dont want to send them to school tomorrow, i feel so scared all the time and just want to keep them with me.

i feel so scared all the time and just want to keep them with me.

I can relate to that. I was also scared, at first to be out of my house, and then to be in it, as I became convinced that someone (I dont know who) was coming to get me and would know I was in. I would literally sit in an evening in the pitch black, frightened to switch my lights on in case who ever it was could tell I was in
I went to the doctor when I realised how much it was affecting my life, this was back in the autumn. He put me on some pills called trazodone and my anxiety, from being an absolute feelign of dread that was with me all the time, is now something of the past, and I can't tell you the difference it's made. A weight has been lifted. Have you been to the Dr?
Looking back, there were big 'real' things that were contributing to my anxiety. For a start, I'd had a crap year, my partner left me alone with 2 young children, I lost my job, and I stopped opening my mail. First thing I did was tackle the big bag of unopened post. Is there anything small that you are worried about that you could maybe tackle tomorrow?

I hope tomorrow is a better day for you. Sorry I can't be of much more help right now, but I really wish you well.

Not really any real things, ivealways been an anxious person but since having kids it seems to all be focus on that.

I was wary of pills but if the CBT doesn't work i might have to try them as i dont want to be like this anymore, even things that aren't real and i know they arent scare me

going bed x
