[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I love my mom and we have a mostly good relationship. She has a lot of anxiety and gets overwhelmed by things that I then handle for her like booking flights or doing research etc. I want to be supportive and help her, but I'm noticing how much her stress affects me. I want to get better at setting a healthy boundary without 'abandoning' her. She's moving and has a lot of anxiety and is all over the place. How to support and be kind without taking on her burdens? [/quote] This is going to sound basic but I find regular exercise is essential. It helps me to keep crappy family baggage in perspective and feel like I am taking care of myself: That is my self care but maybe you have other ways that work better for you. [/quote]
