Ok i am new to this board and i need some help. I am a stay at home mother of 2. After each of them was born, for the 1st couple weeks, i would get really panicy (sp?). I didnt know what it was at the time. But i would just start to panic for no reason! especially when i was home alone with them! I would call my husband at work crying and begging him to come home! When he asked me what was wrong i didnt have an answer for him because i didnt know what was wrong! After a couple weeks it went away. But when i had my second it came back and went away after a couples weeks only to come back again a couple months later.
My youngest is almost 2 and i feel like i'm losing my mind! I dont deal with this every day but maybe everyother day.
I just get scared! I freak out!!! I hate being alone! it scares me and i dont know why! I dont feel like doing anything! I just sit around all day. I have no energy. I barely clean. only enough to get by. because of his i'm afaird of people coming over. I bring my kiRAB into my bedroom at night (my husband works night) and we watch tv in bed! I tell them it's a sluraber party and they like it but i feel awful! I bring them up there so that if people come over i can just say i didnt hear the door! It's crazy i know!
One day there was a knock at the door and i looked out he peep hole. 2 women in dress suites with a breifcase and a clipboard. I flipped out! I thought they were coming to take me kiRAB away! I was a hysterical all day! Crying and freaking out! Hyperventialting and shaking! I couldnt calm down! i fianlly told my husband why i was so upset and he laughed! They were jehovas (sp?) and i knew that! that always come around! i;ve seen them before! i dont know why i freaked out!
This isnt me! i dont like feeling this! i'm not a good wife or mother like this! I dont know what to do! I've thought about telling my doctor about it but i always talk myself out of it. One of the main reasons is because i'm erabarrased! my husband asnt even realized! usually when i go to the doctors i see the pa and i'm not really comfortable talking to her about it. When i call to make an appointment they always ask what the appointment is for and i dont want to tell them.
So i guess my point is, is this anxiety?
 
First thing you are not going crazy. !

it sound like anxiety. SAD "social anxiety disorder" My wife did almost the same thing for a while, very much the same thing.

I am not a DR. and you should go see your DR. and tell him.

There is a easy fix with meRAB. or my wife fixed here anxiety with diet. ( the hard way.)

I also have a anxiety disorder, the DR put me on some meRAB and I feel much better.
 
You are not going crazy. So just know that. It sounRAB like perhaps a bit of hormonal irabalance after having your babies. Like a touch of post partum depression. And it doesn't mean you are depressed ok. I had this too years ago. It's just that you aren't able to rationalize things out like your normally would. I agree that maybe meRAB and watching your diet closely for awhile. But always seek a doctors advice ok. You will be ok. It's amazing how the chemicals in our bodies effect the mind. They really do. I am dealing with that now in my forties as my body is going through changes. I have developed more anxiety and things like that. It is not fun. But I try to find ways to cope. Hang in there sweetie! You WILL get through this!:angel:
 
I forgot that i did have depression after my second was born. It was only because she had colic. I couldnt do anything! I always had to hold her and she cried ALL the time! It was very rough! People told me i ppd and that i needed to go get meRAB but there were no meRAB that i could take that would make HER stop crying! lol It went away once the colic went away.

I also have the mirena iud and i'm thinking that might be whats made me like this. I've read about a lot of people having anxiet/depression problems with it. I have a doctors appoitment on tuesday for a car accident i was in a couple weeks and i might talk to them about it then. Seeing as how i totally freak out EVERYTIME i'm even car now!
 
I also had the mirena and i think that might have contributed to my anxiety problems and depression to start. I had it taken out and i have gotten better but not all the way. My doctor said it could have played a part in the anxiety. I feel so much better now that i dont have the mirena.

Confused
 
I hardly ever check these boarRAB but I'm glad I did today. First let me say that I'm sorry you are dealing with this but I agree with the others, you're not crazy.

Havng a baby can do A LOT to your body. Believe me, I have 4 (now 4, 7, 10and 14). Your hormones change terribly but I can't offer an answer about whether's it's hormones or anxiety or both. I wanted to comment that I also had the Mirena IUD in for a few months (3 total) a few years ago. The day after I had it in I started to feel like I was pregnant. My emotions were totally off and I had lots of signs of pregnancy (tender boobs, morning sickness, and I cried a lot). I told my dr about the symptoms and she didn't believe me. She insisted that the hormones don't go into your blood stream just into your uterus. After doing some research on the web I found a lot of other women who had similar problems. I had it removed and the symptoms (most anyway) went away. I can't take ANY type of hormone type birth control or it does that to me.

Try talking with your doctor about it. Don't feel erabarrassed.

Good luck and congrats on the new baby.
