I'm a Mess

Anxiety is, once again, kicking my ass. I have a crazy busy
week, and all I want is to hide in bed.
I work every day this week and have plans in the evening
every day. Two of those evenings are Cub Scout events for my son, and every
time I think about it I start crying. He is loving the Cub Scouts. I am
dreading every moment.
The meetings are absolute hell. There are kids running
around screaming in a church gym, and it’s sensory overload. They discuss
upcoming events, and I want to cry because I desperately don’t want to go to
any of them because I’m terrified of all the human interaction. They’re doing
popcorn sales and I don’t want to go to any of the sale events because THERE
ARE PEOPLE THERE, but not going means my son misses out on earning a badge. Thursday
is the homecoming parade that the Scouts are riding in, and I typically avoid
parades because they’re loud and there are so many people and so much traffic
when you leave and what if I pick a place to sit where I can’t see my son in
the parade anyway.
And now my daughter is saying she wants to join the Girl
Scouts, which we’ve already tried, and was already a disaster.
I had to cancel dinner plans with my mother because I forgot
about a work meeting I have in the evening on my only free day this week, so
now I’m afraid I’ve disappointed her again.
And on top of all of this, my house is a disaster, I
desperately need to do laundry, yet all I want to do is stop being conscious
because I just can’t deal with any of this.
I’m a mess, and I’m so tired.
