Work and co-parenting (the lack of) are my biggest sources of anger and anxiety. I am currently 3 months into what is turning into a permanent leave of absence from work due to an MS relapse that left permanent results. My ex has refrained from 3 visits so far with his son, the last with no notice of cancellation and I see it affecting my son, who is left with uncertainty.
I medicate for anxiety as I have 2nd stage hypertension, and I spend more time with my son when I am angry or too anxious. He is everything in my world and always grounds me.
Yes, medication when needed is so important, as is spending time with the people we love most. Thanks for sharing!
