Overwhelmed with high anxiety

[Starrlight]

Online school is starting soon (On Sept 8th) which gives me so much anxiety. On the 3rd -5th my family and I are taking a vacation before school starts so that my son can continue to improve his skateboarding skills and be in touch with other skaters.

I was excited about the road trip initially but that was before I started getting high anxiety. Now everything seems difficult.

I’m overwhelmed and its hard to concentrate and I can’t think straight today. Maybe I’ll be able to take care of myself and have a better rest of my day or at least feel better tomorrow after I do some planning and organizing of school stuff But when anxiety is high I can literally barely sit down.

Heart pulpitations, Irritable bowl syndrome, no appetite and barely sleeping. .

I guess I need some reassurance that it’ll be ok but sometimes it’s just not okay enough you know? And that’s life isn’t it? I hope I can get to the point where I’m sure I can continue living without so much fear. I don’t know. There are so many things that scare me right now.

Thank you in advance for any support I receive here.

Hello

I have been suffering and still am with overwhelming anxiety , different reasons but the same feelings

I agree enjoy that break with your family and remember you will cope with this Schooling because you will do your best and that is all you can do and that is good enough !

In the UK the kids are back in School next week so we shall have to watch this space how that works out which I think for some parents sending them back to School is causing them anxious so if in School it is causing anxiety if parents are having to home school it is causing anxiety so you are not alone

Enjoy your break you deserve it

Take Care x

I have suffered with anxiety for 5 years now it is worse with covid but I'm going to take a massive leap as I have agrophobia too but I'm going to take my children swimming before they go back to school to most people this is not a big deal but me and my children it is
