My father was an alcoholic throughout my teens and he died when I was 21.
I had have had on /off anxiety since then, esp bad in my 20’s.
I’m now happily married with twin boys aged 3. They are a handful but were IVF and my miracle babies.
For the past 6 months or so, I’ve had bouts of anxiety/depression every 2 weeks. It lasts a couple of days but I am really thrown up in the air by it. It’s starting to affect my relationships with my husband and kids (my husband is extremely supportive thankfully). It’s like I hit a wall of anxiety and low low self esteem. I have to fake it through a few days then I am back on roughly an even keel til the next one.
I don’t want to dwell on my past as I want to enjoy the present now, it’s so precious.
I’m at the point where I’m considering the docs but am wary of tablets. It’s really affecting my life now though.
Anyone been through this?
