I've suffered with anxiety dice becoming. Last 6 month I have been at my worst. I'm constantly trying to prove to myself that I can take my dd (11month) out myself. I constantly think I'm going to pass out or have a seizure. I have never ever had a
Seizure in my life and last time I passed out was when I was 10 maybe I dnt even know if I have. Why do I feel like this will it ver go away?? I'm currently having counselling sessions and about to start cbt in a few weeks. When I'm not panicking I'm still thinking about my anxietys it's taking its toll.

You poor thing. It WILL get better I am sure. There are at least two factors that make it temporarily worse when you have small children. One is the natural vigilance that we instinctively adopt when we have babies to care for. And the other is tiredness. That really does take its toll on our ability to get perspective on all the worries that flash through our minds each day.

I've been through periods of anxiety that I know in retrospect were conditioned by those factors and have come out the other end. Give yourself as much rest and sleep as possible. It will get better with time.

I know how u feel I have suffered with pnd since having My fourth children who is now 21 months. I had cbt and it helped loads I also had face to face therapy that made me a stronger person although I have relapsed a bit so may have to refer myself again. it is so hard to get out and about I felt o couldnt do anything by myself but I am getting there. best way for me is not to think about it too much just get ready and go if u start to panic takes a few deep breaths and think to urself everything is fine x really hope u feel better soon message if u fancy a chat x

Thanks for you replies. A few week back I took time of work that made thing much worse because I began fearing I wouldn't go back at all. I work two day a week and dread going in once I'm there I'm okish. I used to be a very social person but now I feel I have to know who is going to our baby groups or trips. I feel very teary alot. I do try as preoccupie my mind but I can't. X
