Sepertaion anxiety

Hiya! I’m not sure if this is the right group but worth a try! 😅 I have a 3 year old boy who is due to start school in September, I pulled him out of nursery as I’m suffering with really bad separation anxiety! Currently having therapy and psychology sessions for it, atm there’s just no chance he’s starting, I’m really not ready but I know it will be good for him, has anyone else ever suffered anything like this? 😓his dad has nothing to do with him by his choice so he’s with me 24/7! So it’s extremely hard being away from him 😭

I haven’t experienced this exactly but I have had anxiety with things baby related. I guess, if you try to do things with you and your baby slowly slowly, you’ll become more comfortable? I wouldn’t jump in at the deep end if you don’t feel comfortable. Take your time.N

@Chelsea it is really difficult. I also find myself feeling drained & finding it difficult sometimes because I have him 24/7 and don’t get any alone time, but in the same breath I don’t think I could have it any other way. My biggest fear is him missing out because of me and it sounds like you’re going through that too. I know it’s difficult right now but I just keep thinking things will change one day, hopefully therapy will help but I’m sure it can’t be like this forever. All the best & sending love ❤️x

@Talia it’s so hard isn’t it 😓 my little one doesn’t go anywhere either, he’s just with constant so he obviously suffers being away too, I just know if I got to school and said he didn’t want to go I’d instantly turn back and take him home 😭 we are even joined at the hip at home 🙈 we’ve got this! 🥰💪🏻

Feel like I could’ve written this! My little boy is almost 1 but I haven’t put him in nursery yet due to not wanting to be away. I’ve attempted to look & enquire but as soon as it gets round to it I decide not to take him even though financially it’s really hard and I could do with going back to work. he’s never stayed with any family member day or night as I don’t want to be away from him, & doesn’t see his dad. I’m also currently in therapy for anxiety. Don’t really have any tips or advice but I know exactly what you’re going through so here if you ever need to talk ❤️
