is it anxiety or just to many stressful factors??

[bigbrain]

This morning at my son's footy match my partner came out and said i suffer from anxiety. It was then I started crying, I'm not sure exactly why, maybe I was relieved to learn that my emotional ups and downs had a purpose, finally a diagnoses? How could I be so blind and not notice this. I searched on beyond blue website to learn about anxiety. I took the anxiety test and the score is on the low rage. The symptoms associated with anxiety I don't necessarily experience. So what is wrong with me? I am a single mum, of two boys 5 and 7 years. Apart from my sons been boisterous and have a very acquired skill for selective hearing, they have a clean bill of health. So what is wrong with me? Why do i feel under pressure? Emotionally drained?

Hi Bigbrain

Welcome to the BB forums. You ask twice what is wrong with you? It would be really helpful to make an appointment with your GP to find out if you are indeed suffering from anxiety.

It may also be worthwhile having your general health checked out as you mentioned you were also feeling emotionally drained and this could have a physical reason rather than due to any mental health issue.

It must be demanding being a single mum so I hope you have plenty of support with this. If not is it possible to get some help from family or friends?

Hope this is of some help. All the best
