Stress Center Peer Support

I am a stay at home mom and I do full time daycare. One of my biggest problems with my anxiety is when my husband goes to work and my older children go to school my mind starts to race because I feel like i don't know what to do next. I have never actually forgotten anything important. So I guess I don't understand where this far came from. It is very paralyzing. I also fear driving because I always think I'm going to forget where I'm going. I want to quit doing daycare and just stay home with my youngest daughter but when I'm alone with her I'm scared I won't know what to do with myself. My mind spins, heart races, and I just cry because I think I am losing my mind. Help

I know what you are talking about. I have a strange kind of anxiety. I have two beautiful and wonderful children and a husband to care for. I am fine going out in public. I am going to school full time and making great grades. My anxiety always gets me when I am alone and just letting my mind wander. That is where I really struggle. Trust me you won't forget anything important. You just get that foggy feeling and it is hard to shake. I totally understand. Just hang in there. The key is to keep yourself and your mind occupied with good and positive things instead of the negative.
