Major Anxiety

This is mostly just a vent but I’m having the worst anxiety today about being away from my little guy. I work full time and he’s in daycare and I’m guessing it has to do with the fact that I got to spend a couple days with him last week because I was sick and then he got sick :(  It broke my heart to have him be sick but it was amazing spending time with him.

Has anyone else had this happen suddenly before? I literally feel like I’m going to have an anxiety attack today at work. The weird thing is I’ve been fine working and having him at daycare until this weekend.

Am I crazy? TIA. 

Re: Major Anxiety

  • I have random days like that too. I know that even if we could afford it, staying home wouldn't be the right decision for me. My job has a really short commute, most days I visit/feed DD on my lunch break, and I basically never work overtime, so it's actually a really good balance. But then I'll have a random day where I just really, really want to be home with DD.

    It stinks because I DO have the sort of job where I could take a day off on a whim if I wanted, but maternity leave pretty much decimated what vacation time I had accrued and I'm tryin to save up for the holidays now.

  • I have those days all the time ! I'm so happy with DS in day care but every week I get what I call the case of the Mondays where I had the best time being home with him all weekend and the thought of making it thru another week away from him is daunting . Hang in there it's normal to have those feelings!
  • Thanks Ladies! 

    Ugh, I'm just having a hard time lately. Glad to know that I'm not the only one. 
  • @jd614 - I feel the exact same way. I probably spend every Monday night in a big puddle because I just don't know how to get through another week.

    No advice, but hugs to everyone out there who knows how this feels!
  • No Advice, but totally normal! I work from home so my kids don't go to daycare often, and I LOVE our provider when they do, but I was still in meltdown mode the last time I dropped them off (for date night, none the less!)
