Hi new here

Hi,

I'm 43 and have suffered with anxiety following the birth of my two children , now 5 and 18 months. I had bad post natal anxiety, not really depression, but loads of panic attacks, and horrible intrusive thoughts. I got better after both but am now stuck with anxiety that returns mainly when I get stressed , which is really quite easy for me with 2 kids, both a handful :), a stressful job, possibly being outsourced or moved at work. Illness with the grandparents etc, but mainly being anxious about being anxious !!!

I take meds and they do help but just having a horrible day today.

Glad to have this website as the info sections are great.

Hi sparkle,

The link you sent is great, am currently going through. My main problem is intrusive thoughts and the incessant mind chatter, I hate it and I know that's the wrong attitude as it gives the thoughts power, but it's just so horrible !,

Anyway will carry on reading...
