Handhold

[Kirstymariex]

mainly Here for a handhold
my ds starts nursery (mainstream) on Tuesday (has autism) but I have major health anxiety, I’m so worried about the bugs and ilness that comes with it. You wouldn’t think ive done this once already with my older child.
How do you cope with the illnesses. I’m so close to not sending him I’m trying to rationalise with myself 🥹😔

Are you getting any help with your anxiety @Kirstymariex?

I’m not😔
I just everytime I think about him leaving me and going to nursery makes me want to break down.
its getting closer to schools going back and im a nervous wreck. He’s going to wonder what’s going on. He doesn’t like the crowds and hustle n bustle then I’m going to leave him and the thought is making me so upset x

I do feel for you as my youngest has a diagnosis of ASD too but I do think the best way of getting into a good place for you all is to self some support for yourself. Your anxiety sounds overwhelming.

Have you tried DBT?
