I am typically a “ worrier ,” and it’s worse with my kids. Whenever they get any type of illness ( IE cold, flu), my anxiety gets so out of control. I find myself worried and thinking the worst, sometimes I’m hardly able to eat. I do not feel better until they are healthy again. Does anyone else experience this , and have tips for managing the anxiety ?

Our kids need us the most when they’re sick and I feel like I get so crippled by the anxiety that I’m unable to show up 100% for them.
