Parenting with Anxiety

I’m a Mum of a young toddler and another baby on the way. I’ve always had anxiety and battled with it way before having kids. But I find it’s getting worse!

I struggle going out and feeling super anxious in public especially now I have a Toddler. I just feel like I’m on display! I know it’s all in my head but I feel like everyone’s looking at me and judging me and my parenting. I know in reality it’s totally ridiculous and no one is looking at me. But I just feel so self conscious all the time. Especially when my toddler is playing up/ having a tantrum etc, which is all normal toddler behaviour.

I even find going to the park anxiety inducing, standing around with other mums and I feel really awkward.

am I alone in this? Is there anyone similar with any tips or advice on how to overcome this?
