Where to start! I'm a stay at home mum with a 2 year old (who is wonderful and no hard work at all - I am extremely lucky). DH goes out to work and our we live away from our families. I was out shopping a few weeks ago and felt very anxious all of a sudden - i was a bit light headed. I felt nervous the whole time and was quite upset when I got home. I had a moderate cold come on that day and lasted a few days. I put the anxiety down to the cold and tried not to think anything of it but the disorientation hasn't gone away nearly two weeks later. I feel very strange when I go out of the house and feel like the world is spinning so fast all I want to do is grab hold so I don't fall off. I'm even nervous to go to the local shops or out for a walk. we haven't even been to toddler events this week just in case I can't handle it. A visit to the Dr this week was no use - he said it was most likely left over from the cold and my ears were out of whack and it would sort itself out. I feel panic a significant portion of the time and vulnerable like a small child. I would really like to spill it all out to my mum but DH thinks that it might make it worse to tell people about it. I feel very lonely with it. I have never had depression before but am starting to feel more than a bit low. Anyone got any wise words? Thank you.
