First time without my partner

I don't know what this is but I'm three days into two weeks of being on my own with my 7YO step daughter and 15mo daughter... I am shitting bricks and have been for the entire three days. I miss my wife ever so much and have realised what a pillar of strength she is. I'm three days in and feel broken, mentally and physically. Anxiety has just about made me throw up and I've cried several times.I've looked after the kids before for a day, an afternoon, evenings etc. They're not being misbehaved, although the little one has a bit of tonsillitis .. but this is different, wife wont be home later, nor tomorrow nor next week. This is the most daunting thing ever and I didn't know my anxiety could be this bad for this long.we'll make it in the end, I'll be a wreck but the kids will be alive.Single parents that do this everyday with no respite of a partner, I salute u. Mothers who organise the household and kids, I envy ur coping mechanisms. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2gSwB8K
