This may seem absolutely ridiculous, so please forgive me. I get stuck in my mind, and I am currently.

I want to take my baby on walks, but I have severe anxiety and I'm not sure I could without being afraid the whole time (I panic even just going outside to check the mail :/ it's terrible).

My baby would be facing away from me in the stroller. It can't be neglecting them, right? It's not like I'd have the headphones too loud to block out noise (they are "over-the-ear" rather than in-ear and they aren't noise canceling). I just think I'd feel better with that distraction??

I'm just not sure I suppose. I don't want to be a bad mom :( I just think we'd both benefit from getting out somewhere other than the grocery store.

Would you wear your headphones/do you think it'd be okay to wear headphones?
