To ask how you stop worrying?

Dd (age six) has continuing issues with another girl at school not allowing her to join in with games. Sometimes she finds other people to play with but sometimes she struggles. Teachers are keeping an eye on things and although I have intervened on a couple of occasions I do understand that she needs to develop the skills to deal with things herself too. She is doing very well at school and seems happy generally.

So how do I manage my own anxiety? If she tells me anything I feel physically sick with worry. I dread asking her about school and feel overwhelming relief if she just talks about the things she's learnt as opposed to playground stuff. It really brings me down even though I know logically that school life is difficult for everyone.

How do I switch off mentally and not over worry? Does anyone else ever feel like this?

Didn't want to read and run. I sometimes feel like this too. I think the responsibility for a child's happiness can be overwhelming and cause anxiety. CBT is meant to be good for addressing worries.
