new here

Hi I'm new here . I think I'm losing my sense humour everything , I take everything serious . I have two children who live with me fulltime and I just think enough is enough . Can't sleep very well , wake up in the middle of the night for no reason then shattered most of the day . My children come chatting about thre interest and what they have been up to that day and what they want to do and in my head I'm thinking please go away , thats not right is it . I love them to bits though .I have suffered with anxiety for many years but seems to getting worse as get older . Was out yesterday shopping and had eaniety all day and when I saw M'cdonalds packed out I could go in , when I saw all the people inside it was to much for me . I was married 19 years devorced now 6 yrs  but being alone with two childrenwith no friends or family to rely on , I have no one to lean on . My eldest has now left high school and my youngest will starting high , all the changes taking place , You know at the time I want to cry but unable to then it impacks on my later with depression and anxiety , its horrible . I have fear of crowded places and social situations , sometimes I'm unable to make eye contact and of the symptoms get worse ,want to run away , tight head , palpitaions.

you sound like you have taken alot on the last few years,and devoted yourself to your children,and now its like it has taken its toll on you,looking after children is a 24 hour 7 days a week job and then when they grow up you look around and think what now,i am on my own,but it dont have to be this way,please go and speak to a theripist,there is a whole world out there waiting for you to join it when you are ready,but its you and only you that can get the help you needs and deserve,good luck

Do you take any medication? Are you in therapy? You don`t mention anything about this in your post, so I presume you aren`t in therapy and you don`t take any meds. There are solutions to the problems you`re describing - but it`s only you who can take the first step towards them!
