[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom is like OPs husband but its an overall issue with her anxiety and control problems. I try to make the choices simpler for her. "mom they have sandwiches and nuggets. Which do you want and do you want grilled or fried?". I've found that cutting out a lot of the options makes a huge difference. If I'm taking her out to eat, I don't ask what she's in the mood for. I ask if she wants Italian, sushi, or seafood and then I choose the restaurant from there. It's not a perfect system but I've found it helps quite a bit. [/quote] This is exactly it. I say that as someone who who has a family history of anxiety but was lucky enough not to be anxious when I was younger. As I am getting older I often find choices overwhelming. I can still control it but once I got a taste of it it’s hard not to worry about becoming even older and more anxious. I also have more empathy for anxious people now [/quote] I'm 21:04 and this is how I am, too. [/quote]
