My child’s anxiety is extremely and personally soul-crushing. The intrusive thoughts are worries of abandonment or fears that I am an imposter. I feel so helpless and horrible and jealous of every mother who has never been asked by their own child if they are their real mom. 💔
In a dark fucking place.
Oh my goodness, it sounds like you both need more support. Do you have support for yourself? Some therapists remain available outside of appt time - can you leave a call back request message with her therapist?
If I can offer support, I’m here for you.
@ATXJane I am fortunate that I can send a message to her therapist. I did on Friday because that was also a pretty rough day involving a lot of negative self-talk for her. Waiting on that response.
I do also have a therapist for myself. That excellent hospital employee health insurance is the reason why I’ll work there forever.
