Do you ever feel like you’ve “missed out” on enjoying moments with your children? This could be due to anything (anxiety, depression, being on your phone, distraction, etc).

Question

Please share what you missed out on and why. 
My anxiety prevented me from enjoying my daughter during a carefree moment recently and it’s really affecting me. I feel so sad about it and wish I hadn’t been caught up in my anxiety. I want to be there for her to enjoy all the happy, joyful moments but it’s really hard sometimes. 
Am I alone in this, or have other moms been in similar situations with your kids?

Answer

I work, so this feeling is constantly there 😔

Answer

Not so much for myself but my husband constantly misses interactions with his daughter because hes wrapped up in his phone games. I literally want to slap the phone out of his hands and scream at him to pay attention some days!!! its the most frustrating thing to watch.

Answer

I fight to stay present despite my major depression and anxiety.

Answer

Absolutely due to anxiety.  I’m pissed that it’s robbed me of so many moments.  It’s hard not to feel ripped off
