Hi everyone:) I am a proud single mom of 4 boys. I developed PPD after my fourth was born in 1996. The anxiety and panic attacks have stayed although I am much better these days than I was, I find lately that the symptoms are back. I am going through some stress lately though. I am fearful that the panic and anxiety are going to be very bad like before.
I have been on anti depressants() bad side effects anti anxiety meds ( I could not leave the house without them) and have seen a councellor with CBT ( worked well and went for 2 years).
In the last couple of months I have been dealing with grief from the death of a very good friend, my dog has congestive heart failure and probably will not last long. I just graduated from college as a Community Support Worker and I have a job at a homeless shelter ( which I love) although my hours are all graveyard shifts and I am trying to adjust to sleeping during the day, I hardly see my sons anymore as they are working and or at school (kind of feeling empty nest) and I am going through menopause. There is probably more but that is all I can think of right now.
Thank you for listening.
