Anxiety is disappearing...

[littebigsheep]

After going nc. Could my parents really be the cause?! I feel like a new woman the last few weeks. I usually have pretty bad anxiety that can be hard to manage some days.

I'm calm, I've achieved so many things that I would have avoided previously. DH told me last night that he's seen a huge change, in a good way.

Today my baby had his first jabs which would have been standard for me to be up all night before and constantly stress about the doctor touching my baby because of germs and I slept great and felt perfectly fine when I was there and afterwards.

This is really new territory and was supposed to be temporary because they crossed the line for me and they are waiting for an "apology" but they're not getting one this time.

Anyone else felt the same or is this pure coincidence?

I went NC with the vast majority of my family earlier this year (bar my Dad and one uncle from my Mum’s side).

I’ve never felt relief like it, it was unbelievably liberating and felt like an enormous weight had been lifted.

Good on you OP, onwards and upwards!

Something similar happened to me when I left my exh.

Congratulations on making this choice for yourself. All that energy that went into anxiety and stressing about your parents... Can now go towards something worthwhile. I'm excited for you, for all the wonderful things you'll do :)
