I think children need both of these things. My anxiety emerged after facing relationship problems, financial problems, isolation, and was a result of my own poor decisions (I made an attempt in 2015 that resulted in ICU with two operations and 25 days in the hospital--I had flashbacks for a while of the attempt). Lastly, I was facing these things without God's help--I am relying on God now and do not have the kind of anxiety that I had before and after my attempt. I am so grateful that I feel so much better than I used to. Not that I never have any anxiety because my life still has challenges but it is much less severe and very manageable. I hope you are able to find ways to bring it under control.
My mom had anxiety and I grew up in a dysfunctional family.
