You are so right @Romla. My daughter had suffered from extreme (rendered unable to even speak in certain situations) anxiety all her life. But she became my major support when I went through treatment even driving me to appointments. Me taking a step back (or probably more like 100 steps back) gave her a chance to step up. She has gone ahead in leaps and bounds since then and now runs her own successful business.
Hopefully she never tries to be superwoman though. Hopefully she has learned from my experience. She is the leading force in our healthy lifestyle changes and takes time out to look after herself everyday.
