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!

  • Hiya Betsy...I hear you sweety...anxiety and meltdowns are allowed. 

    We are all going through our own personal journey and we all deal with it differently.

    However, if u need medical help for your anxiety reach out to ur medical team or GP. U don't need to suffer. 

    My major failing is the guilt I feel. Having days when i really cannot function, when all around me are carrying on as normal.

    I don't look unwell and I think people forget i have stage 4 cancer.

    I had visitors the other day, we just sat chatting. The next day I was useless for anything. Just so weak. Was told not to let it beat me...wtf...I wasn't..was just exhausted...

    Thankfully, I didn't have i meltdown, I just brooded...

    But today is another day sweety...sending u hugs and love
