Hi there, I have two kids, and I completely understand how you feel. I have just extremely recently come to light that I have severe anxiety and possibly OCD. The feeling of always being on edge and freaking out is so. So. Exhausting. And things having to be a certain way is such an anxiety trigger for me, and when it’s not, like wow it’s so hard to handle the fear/anger response. I don’t have any advice for you as I’m at the very beginning of my journey here but if you ever want to talk, I’m here 💛
