So both my children have Autism/ learning disabilities. The eldest also has a life threatening food allergy so understandably I worry about them a lot.
I don’t like relatives looking after them because I know they are really forgetful when it comes to checking food labels. The youngest has Pica so I’m so scared he will ingest something harmful. Just last week I caught him opening the detergent draw on the washing machine trying to lick the residue that had been left by the powder 😳😩
How do I cope with this anxiety? I spend all the time they’re at school panicking that I’m going to get a phone call telling me they’re hurt.
How do I cope with all this worry and stress? I’ve thought about going to the gp but I’m reluctant to take medication.
