We nee dto take cues from our kids -- like puppies, children make it easier to attract the attention of others. If you pick up on these cues, it may make tings easier. I am in no way making light of anxiety. That makes everything difficult. Very real and honest post.

It took me a long time to realise I had anxiety, but as a mum it really does force us to do our best to live with anxiety and find ways to help us. When my second daughter started school she was struggling as she was so introverted and anxious to make friends even thought lots of others were desperate to be her friend so I made a real effort to join the group of mums who were socialising over coffee once a week to show her that even mummy had to make new friends. It really helped her so much and also ended up being great for me too. I now have some of the best friends I have ever had. #blogcrush Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4207176078599945299.post-33193763586917827462017-08-18T19:55:34.417+00:002017-08-18T19:55:34.417+00:00What an honest post.

Perhaps we should all realise that people feel this way and make it easier for each other?

Having anxiety is awful for anyone, but especially so when your a mother because it seems like so many other mothers have it all together - and they all seem to know each other and have billions of other 'mummy friends too.
