Hi please someone help me.. i have health anxiety and i really think i am dying. I have this since i was 17 years old and it got worst after i gave birth on my 2nd baby and after an aunt of mine diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. I am now 32 years old. I am still breastfeeding my baby and she's 2 years old. I get different sensations always.. my doctor diagnosed me of Generalized anxiety disorder. I have teied so many techniques except meds.. nothing works. I am so tired already.. please someone help me on what to do. I want to be well because i have 2 children to take care of..
What are your symptoms huni? I feel for you
I have an 11 week old and a 4 year old and I feel awful
All brought on by a horrendous c section
I'm on diazepam which helps hugely but I've got a foggy head
Are u on meds
The best thing you can do is talk to your GP about available options that can help you. Therapy, all the self calming stuff and when your dine breast feeding consider medication. The goal is to get through all this. And you will. No one is perfect.kids love their parents usually no matter what as long as they know and feel they are loved. Some of this is being prooven to be genetic too so as your kids grow maybe out them in yoga so they can oearn whilst they are little many great relaxing skills. This is a beast of a disorder. Its mind boggling what symptoms can be manifested from anxiety.

You seem very you, Has your Relative died from Her Cancer, if so do you feel the need to talk out your concerns with a family member who knows you both. Discussing both negative and positive memories that celebrate your memories of hers you will find that can help you move on as I see you have moved on from being seventeen to 32 years old.
I understand they say when a Woman Breast Feeds it increases good chemicles in the Brain such as Seratonan, that is good for mood. However the child is two, are you still happy about Breast Feeding, it is a persons choice and I wish you both well
