The thought of going to work makes me anxious
the Night before and the day of.
leaving for work is like torture.
but then so is going anywhere else, and then arriving home at the end of the day, I feel anxious.
being in my home is sometimes too overwhelming for me too
why am I like this now

@ArraDreaming OMG I had to laugh. I can hear your eldest saying that at school lol I would think it was hilarious but I can also see how you would not want it in that condescending tone. They have such beautiful personalities. You are one lucky Dad. I love the term 'daddymum' - your boy has it sussed ...someone will give him attention lol
You have so much passion and love for so many things in your life - most of all your family. They obviously mean the world to you so maybe look in on the kids and feel their love.
I do have to head to bed now Jay - cannot keep my eyes open but it has been a pleasure getting to know your kids a bit more and I will check in with you tomorrow evening. Keep those beautiful things about your kids in your mind this evening - you are one lucky Dad ...and really a lovely person - don't forget that 😁
