Hey.
I never know which thread to post in and previously have just found a random place to go.
Mum struggling. Struggling bad tonight. My head races.
I don’t think I can go to work but then I also don’t have an option really.
Anxiety over everything I do- to the point where even a single thing I throw out I’m thinking- is it plastic, is it waste why did I make this landfill am I worth that?
It sound seriously ridiculous but that’s how my thoughts have been travelling. I want to quit work but then my brain tells me no I must keep work! If I loose my job then I will never get back into the work force but keeping my job means I’m A wreck every night before work.
Single mumma bear of two kids and even tonight one babe refused to go to sleep!!!
Hoping someone is around to reply

@Millieme Please let me know how you went today.
I’m in bed- my body won’t let me move! I feel like an idiot. How can someone be sooo unable to work!!!! Me!!!
Just get up and do your job. Anybody else have these panic attacks before work?

Were you able to move and manage work? Sometimes the hardest part is getting moving but other times it's just all hard. I have to pull myself together week to get back to work next week.
I have struggled today and feeling really scared. Am drowning more and more lately. Every day gets worse in my head. Sorry

Sounds like you are in two minds about continuing working and quitting work. It's natural to want to escape work When it is so triggering. Plus having kids and parenting alone makes life so complicated. It's so hard to be kind to ourselves, especially when those thoughts won't stop. I am sending you some strength to try to get through this evening and some sleepy dust for your kids. Did you end up going to work? How was it?

i rember us talking about work previously but I often get so confused between threads. I’m amazed at how some of the others here keep track.
