Tired

At the moment I feel really tired and exhausted from my anxiety that is now impacting my depression.
I am also tired of having to hide it. Especially with work.
I can't afford to loose my job but I can't say what's really going on.
I am scared and unsure of what to do. I have lost jobs because of my mental health being so up and down.
I have no one to talk about it to.

I don't know but I am scared and not sure what to do.

My mum said I have lost the plot because I thought it was Monday but it was Sunday. I am in tears still about it.

That must have been upsetting to be told that.

There have been occasions where i have lost a day as well. Other people I know have done similar. It can feel stressful to think you have lost a day, and embarrassing when corrected.

Do you look after your parents?

No and I don't work. I can't go anywhere. I am not well.

Does that mean you stay in the home all the time and cannot go outside?

Yes and I am scared and struggling with this agoraphobia.

Have you tried or do you have any relaxation techniques?

Yes I have PTSD coach, Smiling Mind and Calm.

Do you use them every day?

Yes I do and practice my breathing.
