[quote=Anonymous]I agree with PPs on learning to listen more rather than try to fix everything. My anxiety has also increased tremendously, but it's kind of low key, lurking in the background. Any story about kids being hurt also gets to me far more than before, which I didn't think was possible, ditto the rage over women's issues. The biggest shift is probably that I am far more discerning about who and what gets my energy. I've allowed mildly toxic friendships to slide into indifference because I'm much less tolerant of needy, spoiled adults when I look at how hard my preschooler tries to pull on her big girl panties and handle her shit. She has every right to just let it all hang out and wail like a mindless banshee, but she'll analyze her own meltdowns and want to talk to me about exactly what set her off and how I can help her. It's cute and fascinating to listen to.[/quote]
