Please help with any advice on how to not let worry and anxiety consume you. I really want to learn to relax more and worry less. I have always been a worrier and recently things have been overwhelming me, in particular relatively new motherhood, if I am doing a good enough job etc and more crucially the fact my child has a health issue which could potentially become worse, but equally could not develop and could be fine. We have routine hospital appointments but I am getting so stressed by them. I am overwhelmed with worry and what I think is anxiety whereas my husband is far more able to compartmentalise and focus on the positive and tells me to not worry about it as right now it is all ok and may never develop into anything. Even prior to the health issue I have always worried something will happen to my child but recently it is heightened and I constantly want to check on them at night etc when they are fine. I also have this fear something really bad is going to happen to me/someone around me. I just hate feeling like this as I know life is too short and it is wasted energy and my situation isn’t going to change any time soon so I need to sort it out but I feel like there is a black cloud hanging over me and I hate feeling like this but don’t know how to change and recently I feel it has developed into what I guess is anxiety. I definitely don’t want to go on medication though as I am breastfeeding. Could some cognitive therapy be an option? Does anyone have any practical advice please or tips that worked for them? In every other aspect of life I am usually positive but recently I don't feel my mental health is as good.
