I feel like I am losing the plot

I feel like I am losing the plot

I have been feeling completely overwelmed for some time now and I am struggling to hold a thought and retain things.

I find myself leaving the house without say my purse, glasses or similar. I'll struggle at times to respond to questions and get my words together so that I stutter or use the wrong words. I can't cope with too many tasks and I am working from home as I have anxiety around leaving my son. Can anyone else relate to any of this. If so what did you do to get on track. I really worried about the slippery slope that I am on and each day is getting just that little bit harder to cope with. I have an apointment with a physcologist but not until the 6th of August as that was the earliest I could get one. Thank you in avance for "listening"

Perhaps two steps forward, one step back @Anastasia ? Hold onto hope my friend, remission is possible.
