Hi Everyone. My name is Suz and I am so thankful that I found this website. It is so nice to read what other people have been going through. It has really made me feel a lot better. I have been having what I think (and almost hope) to be anxiety attacks and just anxiety symptoms for about the last year. It started about 1 week after my daughter was born in 2004. My son was already almost 3 1/2 when she was born, and I had been having some developmental concerns about him since he was a little bit over 2 1/2, but during the pregnancy, I just kind of shoved them down. After my first panic attack (which at first I thought was something awful happening as a result of my c-section or some crazy post-partum illness) I began to realize every worry that I had ever had about my 3 year old(who is now 4) . Shear panic came rushing over me. I was just completely overwhelmed. Fear and panic first thought in the morning, and last thought before bed. My son is still having difficulties. H is such a sweet and wonderful kid and I love him soooo much. He is in a special- ed pre-school now and will be attending a school designed for Autistic children in the fall. We have not had a diagnosis as of yet, but we're pretty sure he falls somewhere on that "spectrum". Even though I know that this is at the heart (no punn intended) of my anxiety, I can't help but worry about my health. I am scared to even go to the doctor because I just can't even think about them telling me something is wrong with me and I won't be there for my kids. Sometimes I'm a wreck, and sometimes I'm fine. Anyway, that's more about me than you probably cared to know, but that's my deal. Thanks for all of your great posts. Hope to get to know you soon.
