I would be interested to hear fellow anxiety sufferers views on having children. I want to have children but then I think my anxiety will be passed onto them from my genes and re-inforced by my behaviour. Nervousness runs in my family so there must be a strong genetic link. My mum suffered alot with nervousness whenI was growwing up and I think subconciously I picked up and copied her behaviours. In my opinion it is in the genes until something inevitably triggers it off. I think having children would therefore be selfish of me, because I wouldnt want my child having to struggle through anxiety the way I am. What do ppl think?
