Exposure therapy and acceptance is the MOST important key

My panic and anxiety has gotten so much better after constantly forcing myself to do things that scare me . I also got to a point where I said ok I get panic attacks , I might have one so what the world keeps spinning and I’ll be fine . I was scared to go into grocery stores , meet new people , get new jobs , doctors offices . I still did them over and over again even if I was shaking . As time went on I realized oh wow I’m not shaking anymore to get my eyebrows waxed or wow I started to shake during my hair appointment and I stayed and it went away . Hiding yourself from what you’re afraid of is what makes the monster worse . You need to re train and re wire your brain .

Almost 2 years old and suddenly being extremely picky and emotional about food

Even his safe foods aren’t safe . He used to love homemade pizzas and sweet potatoes and suddenly when I offer it to him he freaks out ? Gets super upset and says no . He actually gets distressed almost . He basically wants cheese quesadillas and Mac and cheese . I try to sneak in veggies in the quesadillas but lately when he sees them he pulls them out and won’t eat it . It’s stressing me out so much !! What’s going on ? Is there anything I should do ?

Feeling frustrated

So I am watching my niece starting at about 7:30 am and I also watch my son . Two toddlers . About 5 months ago my husband got laid off . He hasn’t been able to find a jobb . He got offered a job for great pay but he doesn’t want to take it bc he thinks he will hate it . Meanwhile this means I had to find an evening job .. while he’s basically not working . He’s trying to start a business thing so he hands out fliers in the day so he’s not even here in the day to help me . So basically I’m watching niece at 7:30 am and my son and then during nap have to get ready so I don’t even get a break , then I leave and go watch other kids until 8 pm . I won’t get home until atleast 8:30 pm . It just feels like such a long day for me and I’m upset he’d rather me work from 7:30 am until 8 pm basically then him take a job he doesn’t want to do
