I hardly sleep cause of anxiety

It’s hard to talk about my anxiety because all anyone ever says is to see someone… like I know 😭 but sometimes i just wanna vent though 😭 like right now 😭 okay so I have major health anxiety when it comes to my kid and I have no idea why. I think part of it is because I feel like I don’t try my best when it comes to feeding her healthier options. I know picky eating is something lots of moms struggle with but it stresses me out cause she doesn’t eat much healthy food so i’m always scared for her health whether it’s little or extreme. And yes my mind goes to the darkest place so there are times where I stay up all night to watch over her and sometimes I tend to set alarms in case I fall asleep so I can check on her. Idk why I am this bad. My parents always were very comforting and helped my anxiety as a child so idk why I can’t really do the same. I mean for myself, because in front of her, I don’t really show my anxiety I try to keep it together and think logically but then when she goes to sleep and I’m by myself , that’s when I freak out and then just can’t sleep. Currently almost 4 am 😁😁😭😭

I have anxiety around health and anything bad happening to my son - the thing that really helps reduce massively for me is prayer - I do believe in God ofc so this may not be at all helpful to you if you aren’t religious like me - but I try when ever I’m worried about ‘something bad happening’ I ask God to bless him and protect him, now and always - every nite before sleep - I ask God to keep us safe and this helps me rest -

@Tia she does love fruits, so she eats lots of fruits, chicken (not beef idk why she doesn’t like meat), yogurt, eggs, waffles, ice cream, mac n cheese, it’s kind of the same things every day 😭 i’m grateful she eats fruits but still I just feel like I can be doing better and more recipe researches to try

@danielle I’m actually still in the beginning of my walk with Jesus so it helps but not much yet :( Prayer is something I have to get used to I feel like I do it wrong !

I’ll pray for you for now then - take care love ❤️

Would it help if I told you I grew up eating junk & my health is very good? Like I used to put a table spoon of sugar on Frosted cornflakes, I can still only eat chocolate spread sandwiches & chocolate cereal as an adult. I take vitamin supplements & hope for the best. The body is very good at coping with what it has, it's just healthier if it doesn't have to. You're doing your best and that is enough. You are enough. You're doing great! As for the religious side of things, there's no wrong way to pray. It doesn't matter if how someone else prays is different from how you pray. Your prayers are about your relationship with God, who loves you and just wants you to talk to him. Nothing more is wanted. You are loved, you are enough, you're doing great! ❤️ So take a breath, turn off the alarms and get some sleep. You and your daughter will be fine if you rest.
