Hi i didnt want to read and run, i dotn know what to say to help, i have not had those symptoms but it must be dreadful, and i think you really do need to see a doctor and get some help, and they will be able to help you. If you get help you will be able to help and get your kids back with you hun. Will you get all 3 back or just the 2? Sorry to hear your story its very sad, but your strong and i know maybe you dont think you are but i believe you are.

Keep in touch hun and good luck xx

I've had anxiety since I was 7...... so it does suck when you have had it your whole life. I always say I'm lucky that I never experienced rape. so many women have unfortunately. so I'm sure there's a few women here that you may be able to confide in.
uh thats so sad when you ask for help and they take your children away.
just because you have anxiety does not mean your not capable of raising your children.
there's a lot of people out there who abuse the kids and the social workers couldn't give a damn.
what about buying some books on anxiety? visit your doctor, try CBT or see a therapist.
