Anyone else with anxiety want to talk..
@beautiful_disaster91 after having the baby I couldn't eat either. I had to go on meds in order to start eating again. To have that happen while pregnant would be so scary. I'm so sorry you have to go through this.
@rjxmommy, I’m so happy you messaged me. Knowing that someone has been going through what I have and I know I’m not dealing with this on my own makes me feel less crazy. I would love to feel like my old self again.. I think my kids need mama to be better to because I always feel like a Debbie downer. I’m definitely going to give doc office a call tomorrow so you just schedule a doc app and the prescribe meds and send you to a therapist?
That’s the same way I was we went to Walmart and I had a panic attack and spent the next half hour crying in the car. My husband is really good about taking the kid for a little while and letting go for a walk or write just giving my self a little break seems to help but I think the meds have had the biggest change since I been on them I have started going out with my friends and going place. My panic attacks have almost stop and I now am enjoying sex’s again before it was like once a month and my mind would shut off enough for me to enjoy it. I was so against going on Meds it because I though they would make it worse but once I got on the right ones it has changed my life.
@rjxmommy, I am so sorry to here that definitely something that’s scads you I couldn’t even imagine! feel so silly that I do this to myself idk what it’s from.. it’s just making me isolate myself from a lot like my friends I use to love going out now I avoid being places with lots of people. I just want too feel like I can conquer the world with no fear but it’s not easy. My fiancé thinks I need to make more time to let myself breathe and close my eyes and relax to take my mind of my thoughts but the thing is the only time my mind is at ease and not thinking is when I’m asleep. I guess it’s bad when that’s all you want to do all day is sleep but you cant. I think I need meds
I also find when I get really really bad taking a 5 min walk helps me to calm.
Hunny I’m so sorry your going through this it does really suck. It finally took my husband telling me I had to do something or he was leaving because he couldn’t take it anymore. Talking really helped me a lot my dad killed himself when I was 17 and I was the one that found him. After talking to the therapist I realize a lot of it comes from that. Once you figure out your triggers it get a little easier. The best thing I ever did was talk to my doctor she was able to put me on med even when I was pregnant and send me to a therapist .
@mct, I wish there was some way to keep me calm I’m pregnant and it’s hard for me too eat cause my anxiety.. it’s not good.
@rjxmommy, it’s such a relief to here it’s not just me struggling.. I don’t how to go about talking to a therapist I’m too the point we’re I’m making every one else think I’m crazy.. ever little thing bothers me. But it’s more of when the kids are sick my mind thinks the absolute worst I feel like a nut. My fiancé thinks I can put more control into but I try so hard and fail so bad at trying to stay calm.
I’m here if you need to talk. I have really bad anxiety I’m on two meds right now for it, after each of my kids it got so much worse if some was holding my oldest I couldn’t be in the same room. It getting better now with the meds, but I will try to help in any way I can.
Thank you for posting this it’s always good to talk about it also makes me feel like I’m not alone. Thats all I did, I scheduled went in told them everything I didn’t hold any thing back they started me with therapy and one med then they up it and started another I do have to go every month so they can monitor it but it worth it, it helps so much and trust me your not alone there are a lot of people who deal with this and your not crazy at all. Sry it took so long my oldest got up .
