I’ve made the mistake of being a do it all caregiver.
I controlled what I could at a time of high anxiety and stress.
There were too many moving parts and if I didn’t map out their trajectory from the very start I was worried there would be a cataclysmic crash that would result in me … feeling like a failure!
It didn’t take long before I began to feel the effects of doing it all. My outlet became crying.
After a while, I finally realized I had to ask for help. So I met with my doctor and I cried as I told her about my crying. After we spoke for a few moments she told me she felt I was crying because of unproductive worry.
So I instantly wanted to know how to get better at it!
