Im the same babe - come home from work and dont even sit downstairs just want to go upstairs, used to love cooking but cant even be bothered anymore, dont watch much tv - cant sleep. Feel like i cannot breathe at times and tearful. You are not alone. I go through phases though and I havent been like this for months and months. It will pass. Has anything bad happened recently? Thats when I usually get like it.
Thank you ...... I thought I was going crazy...
No nothing to bad.... just a friend (not for much longer) was a bit nasty and she keeps putting people down and judging everyone and it’s made me rethink our friendship !!!! She actually makes me so angry
No youre definitely not going crazy! I have been through it a lot and its horrible - hard to get out of it. My advice would be to not get stuck in a rut, dont spend days in bed/wallowing etc because then it is so hard to get out of! Go the gym, walks, food shopping, see friends etc.Thank you ......

Thank you 
I’ve had anxiety since I was a teenager so I know exactly how you feel. Can’t remember the last time I slept properly, losing weight unintentionally, mood swings out of control. Be kind to yourself and listen to your mind/body, rest when you need to, try and do something you enjoy (reading, watching a film etc) x
You’ve summed up exactly how I feel at the moment. I can’t provide any advice really as I’m trying to find my way through as well but I can tell you that you’re not alone xAnyone else feeling like crap ? Is it me ?

Mines awful but it’s mainly because of my job at the moment - so stressed all the time. Every tiny thing feels massive, super sensitive, crying all the time - feel adrenaline in my chest all the time. Keep getting told to do deep breathing, write it down etc.... hmmm when am I meant to do that when I’m expected to do the job of about 5 people at the moment 
can’t remember the last time I had a proper lunch break away from my desk/not sat in my car. Then when I get home even small things like doing the dishes feels like this huge task I can’t even contemplate, so I end up just sitting on the sofa and worrying about everything but have no motivation to actually do anything. Then sleeping pills to help me sleep.. wake up and do it all again!

Ahhh it’s terrible isn’t it.... my manager said something to me today and I wanted to cry.... over a name... I spelt a name wrong !!!!! I’m over sensitive at the moment also xxMines awful but it’s mainly because of my job at the moment - so stressed all the time.

same here, can't leave the house because my anxiety is so bad, on constant edge all the time, my house is getting on top of me if their is the slightest bit of mess I cant cope. I need to suck it up and get out for a bit, especially with 3 kids. I cant sleep, nothing interests me anymore, no appetite and no friends either
I thought I was coping with lockdown but the past few weeks have proved I definitely haven’t been and I’m close to breaking point 
If it helps anyone I listened to an audiobook on You Tube called The Untethered Soul by Michael.A.Singer . It sounds spiritual and I’m not at all (no judgement to anyone who is) but heard someone talk about it so gave it a listen. It’s all about overthinking and how to control it, I didn’t find it overly spiritual but really easy to listen too and it’s helped me more than anything else I’ve tried . My mind has went to constant worry overthinking to calm and when feelings creep in I can control it .
Yes I take diazepam. Sometimes 2mg is enough other times I need more.
Do you have to get it prescribed?
Yes I have a prescription.
How did you get them? I’ve only been to the GP about this once, just got offered some sort of therapy and anti depressants which I didn’t want as that’s not the issue!
I went to the Drs surgery on an emergency appointment I was in a really bad state, I won’t elaborate too much publicly but happy to discuss privately if you want. I was actually expecting him to prescribe me antidepressants so I was really surprised but they have been incredibly helpful.
Just another voice to add that you’re not alone 
I have a book called At Last A Life by Paul David, this really helped when I was at my absolute worst years ago especially with intrusive thoughts and my mind running away with me etc. Lately I have felt like I’m on the outside looking in, can’t join in normally with everyone else, feel like I’m just an irritation to people, it’s a struggle.
It’s hard to feel like you will come out the other side when things are so bad, but always keep that thought that you will. X
