Hi there, I have 2 kids age 3 and 6 and on again off again panic attacks, I have had them all my life but they seem to have gotten worse as my kids have gotten older as I often worry about them, and can't seem to stop. I come from a very overprotective set of parents and wonder if this has something to do with a lot of my problems. This week was a little tough, my sister is going through a divorce and very distressed and I take on that stress too worrying about her. And then a good friend of mine, her ex husband passed away. So I just felt really anxious this morning and found this website somehow and joined up. Does anyone else find that overprotective parenting from when they were young contributes to their anxiety and panic? Am I right to assume this?
