Hi all, I've not been on here for a while, but I feel I am really struggling - everything I do seems such a chore, and I end up having a major meltdown. Today I had to drive the car home, where my partner had parked it up. I literally had the biggest meltdown, all because it was a tight squish to get out the space. My partner told me that I was being really silly and childish, which resulted in an argument. My anxiety is really high at the moment and I just literally burst into tears.
I feel like a failure, as I know there are people out there who are suffering more than me. I've recently heard of people passing from this awful disease, and my silly fears seem to be nothing compared to what others are going through.
Much love to you all, in whatever stage of your journey.
Different things affect people in different ways. Driving out a tricky spot whilst anxious is a high five moment and an opportunity to provide support and encouragement, so well done you!
Any passenger in a car offering criticism to the driver, should really be making their own way home!
