I have had anxiety issues in the past and did a course of computer CBT at the libary which helped (this was a few years back)
My DS1 started school this september and my anxiety has come back, i though working throughit with a CBT exercise may help but im struggling.
So an example situation. DS1 comes home from school and says x pushed him off the climbing frame as he didnt want DS1 to play with him.
My thoughts. There are a group of friends playing (DS1 didnt go to the pre school but lots of children did so they all know each other) and they dont want DS1 to play and are all being mean to him till one boy pushes DS1 off (it may not have happended like this, it may even have been an accident but my head blows it out of proportion). DS1 is being bullied, he will be picked on all through school. It must be my fault for not being a good enough mum.
My feelings, sad, sad for DS1, guilty, hopeless. helpless.
Challenging unhelpfull thoughts, ????????
Can anyone help me with this??
