Anxiety/horrible thoughts anyone relate ?

[Mummyrj18]

I’m struggling with anxiety low mood just now. It started a few months ago and I had been doing better but feel like I’ve crashed rock bottom again.
The worst thing is the thoughts telling me I hate my life and I don’t want to be a mum anymore ( which is the one thing in life that has made me happy and proud ). Generally my life is great and I have a lot to be grateful for, but I can’t feel any joy ? Hate thinking things like this constantly don’t want to waste my kids childhood being an anxious mess 😣 can anyone relate or been through something similar, need some hope X

I'm sorry you're feeling that way. Do you take any medication to help keep your anxiety at bay?
What triggers your anxiety?
Do you take vitamin D tablets at all?

I’m on sertraline which made me worse and then helped a lot for the past couple months but my anxiety has just come back ☹️ I don’t know what triggers it feels like it comes out of nowhere, not on any vitamin d....so scared of not getting better 😞

Can absolutely relate to this post yes. Intrusive thoughts have been an issue for me since my son was born two years ago. It’s bloody horrible so I feel your pain! Speaking only from experience I would actually say that therapy is the best way to go for that. Have you had any? I was doing much better but have slipped again into quite bad depression since moving in with my mother in law (that’s another story) so am also on sertraline but only two weeks in. What dosage are you on? Sending love x

I’m on 150mg at the moment, it had worked well in the past but now for some reason it’s maybe not working so well ?

I’m glad to hear of someone else having similar problems, ( not glad but you know what I mean ! ). My head just keeps telling I’m not happy and that I would be better off if I just left and started a new life, which is just ridiculous but the more I think about it I think maybe it must be true. Feel sick with guilt.
I would love therapy but not sure how to access the help....Xx

How long have you been on 150 for? As it does take time to get into your system. I'm not a mother but your brain is telling you illogical things. You may need to go to the doctor, as they can review your meds if necessary, write down your thoughts and tell the doctor. Therapy can be done via your doctor.
