Well i hope everyone is having a GREAT day!! I have a few issues i want to touch on and would really really love some feedback!
As you may know, we have a beautiful little girl, who turned 1 1/2 today!! Well we have been having a problem lately. She has extreme separation anxiety, If i leave her she starts CRYING! When we attend church we take her to the nursery and one of us has to stay with her because if we leave she just cries her poor little eyes out :*(. My question is, has anyone dealt with this issue? I feel like such a terrible parent when and if i leave her crying :( Could anyone give me some advice on how they dealt with this? I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you!!
My other thing is, I HAVE separation anxiety. Well i guess its basically at night...I have our daughter sleeping in the same bed with me..I know a lot of people frown upon it but this anxiety has been a HUGE deal in my life right now. I have the worst feeling that if i put my daughter in her own bed that something awful is going to happen to her like an earthquake is going to happen and i wont be able to get to her fast enough, or like someone is going to abduct her or shes going to get injured somehow! Crazy, yes i know but this is how i feel! Also when i have put her in her bed she wakes up in the middle of the night crying and screaming as if she was scared! So has anyone had this issue and if so what would you recommend i do?
This is really hard for me to put out there because i know people will judge me...i just kindly ask that you keep your harshness to yourselves because this took a lot for me to do! So if you have anything that might help me please please please...I'd LOVE to hear it!! Thank you all again!

Hey! Just wanted to let u know that i know exactly how u feel with the anxiety! My boys only 8 weeks old, im always thinking things like the earthquake scenario, or what if something happens to me and no ones there for him!! Its flippen horrible to have these thoughts in your head, and i know the more u think of them the worse they get!! The only thing iv found that helps is thinking that Gods got a plan for my boy and it's totally in his hands, no worrying and fretting on my part is going to change those plans!! I just dwell on that thought for as long as i can then try to move on. Im not sure if thats helpful or not, but either way, your anxiety is because your a great mama and love your daughter so much, dont let anyone berate u for it!!
