Expert in Anxiety Disorders
I worry about stuff all the time. I’ve always been sort of a worrier but it seems to be getting worse now that I have kids. I just worry all the time about what could happen to them and about keeping them safe and about if I am doing a good enough job as a parent. Whenever they are out of my sight I am so worried imagining all the things that could be going wrong that I can hardly concentrate on what I am doing. The thing is, I think all the worrying I am doing about being a good mom and keeping my kids safe is actually making me stressed out and miserable and less effective as a parent – but I just don’t know how to stop worrying. What can I do so that I stop worrying so much more than is healthy?
