I was thinking of buying the body cream. I use the old FFM often.

I’m 8 months pregnant with my third child. My oldest girl is 6 and has developed the most extreme separation anxiety. It’s been going on for months and months. I assumed it was from me being pregnant and impeding change.

We bring her to therapy, we practice mindfulness at home, we teach breathing. We have found little ways to “help” like sending her places with pictures of us. But she’s still a wreck.

She’ll beg me not to go anywhere while she’s at school. I work remote but I also manage the house so there’s many times during lunch breaks I need to go out and get stuff done, and I feel guilty doing so. She’s even asked to bring my car keys to school so she knows I’m at home safe.

I feel really guilty admitting this and blaming it on someone else but I find her anxiety and these concerns are really weighing in on my mental health. Ive started lexapro and have been seeing a therapist too but every day I feel like I’m sinking further in a pit.

What else should I be doing? Are kids this age medicated? I don’t even know!
