Oh no. So sorry you are anxious. Sure your son will be fine, especially as it was just a sip! how old is he?

You have done all you can in telling him not to drink from other people's drinks so can you distract yourself with something else so you aren't dwelling on it so much?

Glad you are feeling better now.

glad your feeling better this morning, someone told me something to say to yourself over and over when anxiety really hits and it helped me loads (was someone on here).
Something along the lines of, I am anxious, it is not pleasant but I'm am not ill, this feeling will pass. while trying very hard to distract yourself with busyness.

thats good advice dita and thanks gunpowder i was very anxious this morning so being a lover of autobiographies decided just for fun to type up mine i typed frantically for a while and even though its a boring read its all happy stuff with not a scrap on anxiety in site really helped in a weird way waiting for online cbt followed by one to one if needed but its taking weeks with the nhs

Writing therapy is a brilliant idea! Glad you are on the waiting list for cbt.
