For those of you with anxiety disorders or who feel anxious time to time?!
Question: For those of you with anxiety disorders or who feel anxious time to time.?
Ok here goes lol. So my anxiety started last summer. I had a couple sporadic anxiety attacks but didn't realize what they were until I had a horrible one that ended with me in the ER. I was put on medication and had been taking it 3x daily up until I found out I was pregnant. Just about a month or so before I found out I was pregnant I was doing SO well I was on the downhill slope to curing it or atleast being able to deal with it better. So I was off my medication for about 3 months of my pregnancy and was put back on it in the 3rd trimester except to take half of the dose I was taking and only twice a day. This gave me some relief but not much. I guess what gets me the most is that I was finally getting close to being able to live a normal life, make an income, be a good wife until I got pregnant. Now its like I'm back at square one. Did anyone have this sort of thing happen.? Not necessarily with pregnancy but something set you back.? Did you bounce back and start to recover again.? What helped you.? Thanks for all your answers I really appreciate it. Health Question & Answer
Answers:
Major life changes can definitely set you back. But you already know that you can do and now you have even more reason to want to overcome the attacks. I have to be honest being a new mom is stressful, but wonderful at the same time. I gave up breastfeeding with both of my daughters after the first two months because I realized that I needed to be back on medication. The only way to take care of your child is to make sure that you are also taking care of yourself. The hormones after pregnancy for me were far worse than during. I am taking meds right now but want to work at getting off of them. I am doing this by exercising when my daughters take their nap and making sure that I continue to take vitamins everyday. Congratulations on your pregnancy. Health Question & Answer
My anxiety got worse after the death of my father. I haven't recovered - it's getting to the stage where this is almost a normal state for me now. I just wish that someone had given me proper advice at the time. I had my head buried in the sand and stopped eating adequately which was the start of my downward spiral and I could have done with an intervention 4 years ago..Health Question & Answer
I've been diagnosed with anxiety and depression from my psychiatrist the first time he interviewed me, he put me on antidepressants, but I feel like **** because everyone I know is getting drunk and stoned without me, but smoking helps if you don't smoke you probably wouldn't understand, but smoking and smoking weed helped me get over me eating disorder the first time, now it came back, I don't think I can have a life like any of the normal people, and now I am really pissed because I am nowhere near as thin as the other girls my age (I hate them soo much), and they can be thin as sticks without having to worry and excessively burn every calorie of energy they put into their bodies. So how do I explain to those people that I got diagnosed with EDNOS when they look so tiny. Anyways sorry to bore you but I don't want to endorse eating disorders but mine helped me gain control of my life, but I have a lot of psychological problems. I still have panic attacks and one that lasted four hours non-stop. I hope you get better, I really do, I don't want anyone to feel the way I do. If you can do it for yourself do it for your child, I know I could keep my eating disorder away for nine months if I was pregnant, just for my kid.
It would be great if you find any tips to get over this type of thing.
I don't know if it will help you hearing about my problems but just know that you are not alone, one in four people have been on antidepressents.Health Question & Answer
