My anxiety is an obsession with noise and sleep. I freak out knowing this about myself. I know New Year’s Eve is a tough one on me. My routine is thrown off and my state has legal fireworks until 1am. So I know I’ll be up until at least 1:30am. I know this about myself and I will practice my mindfulness routine. My neighbors were kind enough to ask what time did I want them to stop popping fireworks and shut down. I told them to go until 1. It’s not fair to them. 

My concern is that my wife doesn’t like that I talk to my son about my anxiety. Like I name it, say “I am feeling anxious because of this, but I will do this help me…” she thinks I am giving him anxiety about my anxiety. Truthfully, he probably inherited a lot it from me. 

Should I not be talking to him about it?
