I’m so sorry for u feeling this way. My feelings are almost the same. I’ve been dealing with uneasy feelings so I totally get it. U have to take time for you. We all need that time. Even if we have to steal it when the babies are asleep. Your mom, sorry to say might be one of your triggers that may be forcing u to feel like this. I found out that being in the same space as my boyfriend after everything he has put me through has caused me some severe anxiety. I figured this out because yesterday I was home alone and was at peace  but soon after he called me the headaches began.....I love him but I’m wondering is it time to let him go.

get the lump in your throat checked out a your GP, but my wife had this for years turned out to be anxiety she used to think she was choking but would not take any tablets for Anxiety so she suffered for far too long. don't think the children will be disappointed with you, i used to be in a right state when they were young, now there in their 30-40 and when i ask  them about it they say they had a fantastic childhood children accept you for who you are not for your faults. if it means taking tablets to get your life back on track do so ,you can always stop them when your better, as for alcoholics i class it as an illness personally you cannot make them better they have to do it for themselves, don't take that on as your problem as difficult as it can be dealing with them. once you get back on track you will start socialising more and gain friends, don't worry there is light at the end of the tunnel. take care your worthy of better times xx

I'm first time posting. Been dealing with severe anxiety and depression for weeks now. Doctor has me on Zoloft 100mg , trintilrex 5mg and ativan.... I'm still waiting to feel a bit better. I'm stuck in my nervous head all the time!!

I know that feeling I was with my husband for 10 years before I asked him to leave it was to much if panic every time he'd get home cause I guess guilt of not feeling good enough

Thanks everyone it's just getting to a point where I can't function anymore I can't even eat cause of my throat feeling I'm getting fed up I feel so alone I'm stuck in this whirlpool of destruction and fear trying to fight against the current but slowly sinking and having no control I don't shower when I should I don't eat takes me everything to just get out of bed and make sure kids are fed and have a shower and clean home and clothing I just wanna stay in bed and not get up I feel like a failure but you are all very kind

You are not a failure, you are ill, I'll was happens to all humans as we are not robots. Please go see your go. It sounds like you have it so hard and I'm not surprised that you feel thos way. Also have you tried meditation off of you tube. I used to really struggle with it bit now I love it. X

I used to handle my anxiety very well and all of a sudden it just started getting harder and harder more symptoms arising I had the typical fast heartbeat sweating shortness of breath and impending doom feeling but so many others like dizziness headaches jaw pain sinus pain then acid reflux now this stupid feeling of something in my throat which is just by far the worst as I have a fear of chocking before I had my boys I was normal no anxiety nothing like this thanks for your kind words

You need too see your family doctor, the surgery will not mind if you need to take them with you.

Could you not even arrange for someone to be there for the kids for the time you visit your Doctor.

What you could do is ask the surgery if a GP could visit you at home, you will need to explain why you need this appointment although that could be an option.

May I ask How yo manage doing the shopping, also How old are your children ?

I see you are taking medications,

Do you think a course of  CBT will help you, you need help in your home if you are suffering Anxiety, are there any nurseries for your kids, when are they starting school

If you feel stuck at home you need time for yourself to look after your home and kids. A nursery may help you move on

Hi thanks for the reply my youngest is 2 and a half and no currently not talking meds but I finally asked a neighbor I trust to watch them and went to the Dr they prescribed me Zoloft and clonazepam to start in the morning

Also doing the shopping well I go when they first open to avoid people and I buy in bulk and I do keep a clean home and my children aren't impacted I suffer in silence as it isn't there burden to carry thank you for your reply

Give the medication time to work, side effects initially may put you of, Keep Going, around four or five weeks hopefully you will get the benefit of your medication

If possible look for activities to divert your negative thoughts. I clutter my thoughts sometimes I will be working on the computer and watch TV at the same time, this seems to confuse the brain. You could also try hobbies etc, I have a short term memory defect and I am now unable to read and remember what I did yesterday. My wife has purchased books with pictures in where we have visited in the past, that works for me, although that may  be a hobby  for you

Does anyone know how I get out of this group??? I can't seem to find a way to be out?
