Hello hun just wanted to reply because I'm only 25 and a new mam too :) I've had anxiety since I was 4 weeks pregnant (about 16 months ago) bloody typical been so excited to get pregnant my whole life and then this happens!! Mine is all health related and I have had a lot of head symptoms and quite a few panics. My boy is now 7 months old and I am absolutely terrified of dying and leaving him without a mam, breaks my heart and is really stopping me from making any progress. I want more children too and I just want to get better so I can cope and just enjoy being a mam. I'm currently undergoing CBT and praying that it works. How long have you suffered for?

hi ya ,so sorry your in bad patch again but do take the new med your doc has given you as i,m sure it will help - if it can control your heart racing then that alone will give you a bit more confidence & cut down on th e anxiety-the docs there to help you so you in turn have got to help him & give it a chance,your 3 lovely kiddies need you so much & you need to be able to enjoy them - good luck :) xx
