Having a hard time dealing with stress/anxiety when too much is going on around me

Hi all.

(undiagnosed & waiting for assessment - 46y)

I’ve been doing well in identifying why I do things and how to stop going into meltdowns and managing things around me much better. But….

I’ve a 2 and 4 year old girls. When they start with the noise - the screaming/crying/shouting/tv on/daddy daddy daddy all the time…. I get a horrible knot in stomach - anxiety/stress maybe. And when it’s there I just can’t cope with it. I end up short tempered. I can feel myself wanting to scream at them and my head gets overloaded. 
Ive started with earphones on and trying to listen to music to calm it all down. But that’s not easy when you’re looking after kids!! 
I know it’s happening but struggle to deal with it. I want to just get away and lock myself in a room for a day.
anyway I just wanted to get it out of my system and talk it through out loud (we’ll on here anyway).

Feel better already Smiley
