Moms with anxiety: how do you do it? Husband and I want to start a family soon, but the thought of managing my own anxiety while raising a human is terrifying đŸ˜±

Not to be a downer, but will be honest - I found an easier job. With the support of my husband I found another role, same firm, that limited travel and stress. I found having kids to create enough anxiety without adding on top of it work anxiety. Wishing you the best - kids are awesome but figure out what you can dial down so you can dial up the kids piece.

I’m still sad that it’s the mother who still have to “dial down” her career

I dialed down cause my husband makes much more than me - the case for him to do it wasn’t there.

Anyone who can recommend a driving school/package? I can see several websites such as Passmefast and Red Driving school, so not sure of how to select. I am a beginner so ideally I’d like some theory and many hours of driving lessons. I am based in East London. Cost is also a factor
 the prices here are extortionate compared to my home country.

Does anyone here struggle with basic things at work? For example, being on time. I know it sounds basic, It’s not about waking up in time, my morning gets filled with something else, I misjudge time, I find something else to procrastinate. Second, filling out admin forms, I miss things, misunderstand. I am feeling really down on myself. I am I high performer and always deliver on complex projects, but these things, it’s like I’m totally out of it. Could it be ADHD? Depression (I’m medicated)?

I told her It’s too heavy when she says stuff like that to me and I want to help. Idk what to say to her.
