Mom Anxiety Quotes

“Anxiety happens when you think you have to figure out everything all at once. Breathe. You’re strong. You got this. Take it day by day.” -Karen Salmansohn
“I know you are overwhelmed. I know it is so hard and feels like you can’t even live your life. Having anxiety as a mom is horrible, but it is not all that bad either. It helps you protect your children. It helps you plan and prepare. Don’t feel entirely guilty for having anxiety. It is not all that bad.” -Kate Tekurio

“Dear Anxious Mama,
You will rise. You will rise above the baby blues and those really hard postpartum days. You will rise above the sleepless nights and the colic baby. You will rise above those moments when you feel like you have no clue what you’re doing or how to help your baby to stop crying endlessly.
Mama, you will rise. You will rise above the whining and crying, and full on screaming tantrums. You will overcome those incredibly hard, yet teachable mommy moments. You will rise above the never ending laundry, lack of privacy, spit up, snotty noses, and messy house. You will rise from the diagnosis of postpartum anxiety and depression because that diagnosis doesn’t define you as a Mom. You will rise above your triggers that cause extreme anxiety. You will rise above the panic attacks that are so bad you can’t breathe.
Mama, you will rise. You will rise above the moments you’re afraid to take your kids to the park or grocery store in fear someone will take your child. You will rise above the shame of taking medication and seeking therapy. There is no room for shame in your life, rise above and shake that shame right off of you.
Mama, you will rise. You will rise above anxiety and depression because you are strong, capable, brave, and courageous. You are a GREAT mama and never alone in these struggles.
Say it, know it, and believe it because Mama, you will rise.” –Desiree Fortin

“You know how when you see a group of geese in a field, and there’s always one with its head up, looking around? That’s me. I was always afraid. Just anxious. It’s like my mind was a heat-seeking missile, always honing in on what could possibly go wrong. My first daughter got the brunt of it. I was so worried about everything. Her first plane ride. Her first day of school. Her first sleepover. I thought if I anticipated every little thing that might go wrong, then maybe I could fend things off. But that’s never possible. Things will always go wrong. The best you can do is give your kids self-confidence. But I’m afraid I passed on my anxiety instead. Because when Mom is always afraid of the world, the world becomes something to fear.” –Humans of New York
