Help me manage my anxiety

I have prenatal anxiety and depression. I'm normally pretty good at managing it, but this weekend DS is spending the weekend with his grandparents. He loves them and I logically have no concerns regarding his care. But I don't want him to go. I think this is mainly anxiety (there is no logical reason for him not going and I need the rest and we have DIY that desperately needs doing). I also think it is partially because DS is still saying that he missed me when we went away and my mum looked after him (for a day and a half). It really tugs my heart strings, though he does then say he enjoyed his time with granny and asks when she's coming again - I appreciate you can enjoy being away but also miss the person you are away from.

Someone tell me he'll be ok, he won't drown (they live on the canal) or die in a car crash on the way there or back. And won't be scarred for life from missing me. I know I'm being silly but I can't help it.

I'm certain he will have the most fun weekend!

Try to relax, I understand why you feel this way though. It's the perfect opportunity to rest and do your jobs before Christmas. Enjoy the break!! Get a massive bar of chocolate and watch a movie undisturbed!
