Can childcare help with Anxiety?

Took my nieces to the trampoline/soft play park today, with their dad and grandpa.  Needless to say we all liked it.  I am liking taking my nieces out in the car in their car seats, a new experience for me. 

Without traffic it took me 20 minutes to navigate myself out of the haphazardly scattered town centre car park, the road markings were barely visible and I didn't know what I was doing.  My blog is not set out to be about childcare, it's more about my mental health.  Which has been good today, I always think less about my anxiety when they are visiting.  My mum and I then took them to the library, and they were happy looking around while my mum and I had a little sit down. 

It is important to me to be able to do that a few times a day, otherwise I find it hard, but then life is hard sometimes.  I think life is supposed to be challenging at least one day in every three.  So I did think about anxiety a couple of times today, but it doesn't really take hold.  Oh and it rained today, which my mood is sensitive to.  Like lots of people I certainly perk up when it's sunny.
