Hi I am glad you have sought help. this is your first step to getting support that you need. Please remember no matter what you are not alone, you have people that can help.

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that the fog of anxiety and panic attacks has finally lifted for me. It started when my baby was 10 months (1 year now) and my husband was away for work and I was so overwhelmed. I started to get very bad panic attacks and went to doctor and was put on medication but like that it made me feel worse (not anti-meds just did not work for me). I found that for me the most important thing is sleep so if you can find some way to catch up on sleep that is a lifesaver (I made my husband change sides of bed so he coukd be nearer the cot and he could attend to baby during night). I recommend the postnatal depletion cure book for some advice on supplements. I also found the work of Karen Kleinman who made me feel like I was not going mad and helped me come to terms with how I was feeling. There are some great insta groups for this (postpartumstress). It's not a cure all, I still have down days but difference is now I can recognise them for what they are and I don't allow them to overwhelm me and they pass as fast as they come. I wish there was more information on this, my background is research so I did alot of that myself. The hormonal changes that happen to a woman after childbirth are huge and I don't think our society is set up to account for this. I hope you feel better soon because I really know how bad it can feel but keep the faith because it will pass :)
