I'm afraid of passing anxiety onto my baby

Same. But it's part of life. He'll see you handle it and learn how to manage his own. I think about the world these kiddos got brought into, they're going to need the skills.

I know I passed on some anxiety. Along the way we kinda taught each other stuff. You'll see yourself in him in ways that you'll want to change. It's beautiful.

And like others have said, being honest and open about it is key.

@SW-User sometimes I feel guilty, because life can be so difficult and the world is such a fucked up place at times. But it can also be beautiful and amazing and I hope he experiences that and gets those things from life.

I'm trying to learn to deal with it, because I really don't. I've recently started therapy but it's been a little chaotic and I'm not sure what I'm going to get from it, other than venting. We'll see, I'm going to continue down this journey of healing probably the rest of my days and hope I can learn to better tame my disorder, for my boy. Right now I'd be like...yeah he's not going to see me deal with it and learn anything positive from my ways 😭😂

@Notsimilarreally I'm sorry it's kinda shit right now. He will see you and love you no matter what. His precious existence is enough to push you to feel better already. You'll both grow. I promise it gets better. You will do it for him and it will make sense because of him. You are a bad ass chick and a wonderful Mama. You won't want to do anything that hurts him. It becomes clear 🖤
