I had my dd 2 years ago and I feel that I haven't gotten a grip of my anxiety levels since then. We moved from the us to Scotland (although I'm English) when DD was 2 months old and we lost all of our network of family and friends. I went back to work full time when dd was 11 months partly as i was lonely but the anxiety and feeling alone hasn't gotten better. Instead I talk way too much at work and tell stupid stories, can't seem to rein it in. I think the anxious feelings make me talk, or perhaps a desire to connect.
I went down to 4 days a week recently but still feel like I'm struggling to be normal. I do drink a lot of coffee, some days 4 shots of espresso, but when I try and cut back I find it hard to function in the morning. Any advice? I don't think I'm depressed, but lonely and very anxious and not sure what to do for the best.
