I can relate way too much...I feel like I've missed so much of my memories with my two year old bc I'm mostly consumed by my anxiety and the symptoms it causes. And the guilt that I have for being so mean to my 11 year old. I hate it

Well from one parent with this struggle to another, I fight to be present in the little moments (whether I feel it or not). I don’t always succeed in that but they are worth the fight. It kills me when I see they’re smiling faces and yet I can feel the happiness of that because my body is in a raging fight or flight response mode, BUT they don’t know that, so I push through. Keep fighting it too! I’m on this app to both be encouraged and give it. Who knows one day our own kids may be grown and going through anxiety of their own and we’ll be able to relate and encourage THEM through it. On a separate note, How are you managing your anxiety? Are you taking anything?
