I suddenly feel like the walls are closing in on me and I can't breathe. Is this normal?

Sounds like it might be an anxiety attack

Sounds like an anxiety attack! Google grounding techniques. Id send links but my data is slow

@veemitchell will do... I spent sometime locked in the bathroom on the floor with the lights off. The kids were secure and their father eventually got up to check on them... well actually, my daughter pushed that forward because she went to him crying

@andrea328 isolating myself for a bit helps me too along with grounding and breathing

@veemitchell I feel like someone made a horrible mistake in making me a mother. I don't know if I can do this

@andrea328 I've felt that way a lot, I see your boy is brand new. It could have something to do with ppd/ppa and the stress of the fourth trimester. It wasn't a mistake! You got this. You obviously care about how you're doing as a mother which already shows me you're doing right by them. PM me if you need to talk!
