No panic attacks but everything else is all too familiar lately. I had all the best intentions today when I got up at 6.20am. I took the bins out, made breakfast did all the washing up, run the hoover over and by 9.30am I was back in bed feeling sorry for myself again. I was hoping this doing something productive would make me feel good about myself, but instead of feeling good about what I’ve done I look at the things I still need to do and feel totally overwhelmed and end up shutting down. I spent all of yesterday in bed recharging and for what? I manage a couple of small tasks and I’m drained again.

I was out yesterday lunchtime and last night, so it was a busy day for me. The best I could do for self care was to sleep in the afternoon. Sometimes the simplest tools in your kit can be the most effective…..
