[quote=Anonymous]Yes, I have some chronic health issues and have bad flare-ups. It used to cause me greater anxiety when the kids were tiny, though we have a great village and there was always someone to step in to help. Now they are tweens/teens and can do everything for themselves except drive, so it's not hard to handle. I have COVID at the moment and everything is chugging along fine without me. I just got someone else to drive the youngest to school.

I'm sure this is just some kind of primal fear related to wanting to make sure your young survive, but just try to think through the situation rationally (actually, kids who have to step up and take care of themselves will be more resilient and independent in the end) and do whatever breathing or meditation exercises help you. There was one night when I really needed help and I called 11 people before someone picked up. I just kept thinking of someone else to try and dialing until I got someone who could come over. When push comes to shove, you figure it out; that's what moms do![/quote]
