They feed off of us and our energy. Pull your uncle aside and tell him to knock it off - enlist other family members for help with this if you need to. Get yourself some zen. Ask other family members to watch out for her for a while so you can go grab a coffee and recenter yourself.

Something that has stuck with me and that has always worked for me is to "be the calm chicken". I read a book called The Opposite of Worry about childhood anxiety that discussed a study done on chickens. A chicken will freak itself out with anxiety, which will freak out other chickens, who then freak out the others until they're all paralyzed with anxiety. One will slowly come around and start acting normal again if they feel it's safe, which will encourage others to also come around. The chickens look to the calm chicken for reassurance that it's safe and all is well. If all the chickens are freaking out, they will all continue to freak out. There has to be a calm chicken to calm everything down and reassure everyone. The same is true for children who deal with anxiety, and also, I've found, my LO with dementia and anxiety. They look to us to see if things are okay. Be the calm chicken. Meditate, get yourself grounded, and then be the calm chicken.

Getting a therapist is a must, but I would also recommend this book:
