I just waanted to reply to say you are not alone ((((hugs))).

I can totally relate to how you feel and all of my symptoms are the same and started after the birth of my second child.

I still have up and down days but you can get back to feeling normal (whatever that is!) and it will pass eventually.

There are a number of breathing techniques that can help. It easier said than done but really try hard not to focus on the symptoms.

I don't know how you feel about it but you could ask your health visitor to refer you to Home-Start http://www.home-start.org.uk/about/
When things were really bad someone came to visit me a few times a wwek. she wasn't judgemental and was happy to listen/play with the kids or visit a group or whatever with me and it gave me the motivation to get on with things with some initial reassurance that if any of my symptoms were bad when I was out that I wouldn't be alone. Of course, no amtter how bad I felt nothing happened to me and I realised I could do it on my own. It may be worth considering :)
