Hi Fluff - you're doing all the right things. Keep keeping busy and believe me the feeling of dread and doom will pass. I remember writing a post last year about the same feeling - my panic and fear of 'whatever it was' was so high that I actually thought I might die that day :ohmy:. A year later I'm still here but I can remember that day like it was yesterday. I know that 'not here' feeling as well - I call it brain fog and it's horrible. Again - it does pass. Take one thing at a time, you can't do it all and I know it isn't easy but while your son isn't around try to take a bit of time for you, have a soak in the bath, put some music on and try to relax a little. Big hugs. xx

Good for you. I'm exactly the same at times. Always striving to get things done and never having time and getting stressed.... :wacko:! I'm a bit OCD when it comes to cleaning and organisation so I've had to learn to let go a little. Not easy but I'm more content for it. Don't be so harsh on yourself for not getting things done - it can wait. Enjoy the rest of your afternoon. xx
