Barely held it together today
The anxiety was so overwhelming today, that I almost completely broke down at church today.
I had to tell myself to hold it together as I sat outside the confessional (and during my confession). I was in tears sitting in the pew waiting for Mass to begin. Again, I had to tell myself to hold it together.
Once Mass started, the anxiety abated, but there were times I had difficulty concentrating. I felt better after Mass, and had a reasonable afternoon.
Is there a reason you’re this overwhelmed?
@Fiovia My mother is 92, suffers from dementia, and is living alone; and I'm stuck on the other side of the world thanks to the pandemic. When I speak to her, all she does is ask when I'm coming to see her; and no amount of explaining why I can't travel does any good. Add to that other family members pressuring me to visit her. And again, no amount of explaining I do about why I can't travel does any good.
