Anxiety!
I could really do with some support. My baby is 7 months old and I am struggling with severe anxiety, specifically about her getting ill. I am in therapy but i’m still struggling. I am so scared of something happening to her and its taking over my life. With it being winter and cold/flue/rsv season, my anxiety is through the roof. I don’t know what to do!

If bubs gets ill, she has you 💗 Trust that you're everything that she needs. I know it's easier said than done, and it's really difficult when you're in the midst of anxiety, but believe that she'll be just fine because she has you as her mother. It'll be ok
I also have anxiety in life, and with my baby, I worry more about her. The first time she got sick, I cried every day until she got better. I had her sleep with me every night until she got better. She's gotten sick with the cold a few times from catching from family living with us. I tell myself I can't control it. It's kinda ok for them to get sick so their body builds a good immune system. I keep a humidity on all the time to help.

I can’t give you any advice but I can just say that I went through the same thing having really bad anxiety about my baby getting ill, he is now nearly 5 months and I’m starting to feel better but still have anxiety sometimes, hope it gets easier for you xx
