Struggling

[Westie-love]

I have fallen into the rut I was trying so hard to stay out of, I have been in the house all week, apart from school run in the morning, I seem to have only 2 friends left, and one of them is moving away before Christmas, I have not even got dressed past 2 days, and not had a shower all week, I feel so alone and don't see any point in looking after myself, my anxieties are getting worse, I have an appointment in December for an assessment, but not sure I can wait that long. I don't know what I can do to get myself out of this rut, any help would be gratefully recieved.

You have the school run to keep you going and that is wonderful. I have been estranged from my children and so missed the school run like u would not believe for many years. You will get stronger I feel. I am going through recovery which is horrendous just now .. But you know what I am.gonna kick ass when I get back up .. Give yourself some time to recover and in the meantime check out the Webby called Anxiety no more

Thank you Satsuma, the school run is not with my children I am a childminder, so once I do the run that's me left with nothing for the rest of the day, as I have no children during the day, and my own kids are adults now. I wish I did as then I would have to go out.

I do have a dog but panic when out alone, as I let my anxieties take over, she does come and sit beside me all the time though.

Dogs really are our best friends
