Remember, it's okay to ask for help and take things one step at a time.

Parenting can be hard at the best of times, especially if you have anxiety. Here are some tips that may help:

Practice self-care: taking care of yourself is essential. Make sure you get enough sleep, exercise, and eat well. I know you might think you don’t have enough time but honestly I’m sure you can make just a few minutes at least
Seek support: talking to a therapist or joining a support group can help you manage your anxiety. Friends & family are also there don’t forget to reach out
Develop coping strategies: identify your triggers and develop coping strategies to manage them. This can include deep breathing or mindfulness exercises.
Communicate with your children: talking to your children about your anxiety can help them understand and support you.
Prioritize your time: focus on the most important tasks and delegate responsibilities when possible. By having a plan for the day or a to do list it’s makes things seem less overwhelming and you can just tick them off as you go and if you don’t get them all done roll it over to tommorow
