OK I'm a mom with anxiety disorder and I feel like my child doesn't know how I just I really a.m. the other day he tried to little bit last night he was hiding from me and I've told him over and over he's eight years old I've told him over and over he's like you cannot hide and try to scare me because like I have anxiety and I know that he doesn't understand that but just like letting him not like I cannot deal with that I just can't guys it's like very overwhelming for me but he was hiding from me and I told him I'm not going to the room unless you stop hiding and he kept hiding and I found myself literally like a bout to have a panic attack And it was not good does anybody else feel like their anxiety really affects parenting and maybe things that would otherwise feel like a normal experiences or is it just me

That's completely normal girl because I do get this anxiety too it's not like some thing that I deal with on a daily basis but I times what happens when my baby chokes on something or I see that you know he is holding up something in his mouth such as my AirPod so I freaked out at that moment and it feels like that this is the end of the world where is it's not a problem because I just pull it out or something happened that I know that will be fine but still there

But still the panic attack as a mother you get at that point it's completely insane and I totally get you it's completely normal that happens with every other mom and my mother was even the same she would panic like you know the world has ended in such moments but it's completely normal and if you're actually suffering from severe anxiety on so It's OK you'll be a time you will manage to get away with this and because

But if you explain the scenario to your baby because I think he's old enough so tell him that you know I do get panicked if if you get if you hide yourself for a thing like that anything like that happens so maybe he understands because I'm still not very wise so he might stop from that
