Hi, I know I've posted a fair bit & I'm guessing people get a bit fed up but I'm so confused by what's going on in my head that it helps.
I have an amazing husband & children and I let anxiety control everything I do. There's the little thing, like making choices that spring hundreds of little 'what if' questions. Then there's the things that impact on the ones I love. For example if one of the children are doing an outdoor activity at school, I immediately think of all the things that could go wrong & then imagine them seriously injured or worse, these images stay with me until I know they're safe. All I can concentrate on is them & everything else suffers.
I can't open post or look at the bank online, I have no reason to worry but I just can't do it.
I can't go in escalators, lifts, planes. The children like going to theme parks I spend the day a nervous wreck. I get hit by waves of oanic which make me feel hot & need to go to the bathroom, I can't concentrate on anything else my mind just races with no real thoughts, just panic.
Right now, due to stress at work becoming too much, my anxiety has left me feeling overwhelmed by simple house tasks like cooking, I wonder if this is all anxiety or a bit of depression as well. Every little thing is too much, even spending time with the children.
It's been a bit better since taking pregabalin before this I got to the point where I was sat on the kitchen floor begging my husband to take me to hospital as I just wanted to have some time where I didn't need to think about much, where someone else could take over for me.
Sorry for the long post.
