I'm 22 and had my second son 12 weeks ago. I have always suffered with panic attacks in bursts but since the birth of my second son I have had two or more panic attacks every day felt on edge all other times and last week I was in complete panic for about 3 days straight. I'm so scared something is wrong with me I feel sick all the time with worry. Stress has kicked up IBS which is also making me feel sick and eating less due to getting stomach cramps which leads to weight loss and now I'm worrying I have bowel cancer or something, but everyday I find something new to worry about because of different panic symptoms it's so hard, I can't enjoy time with my two sons because I'm always on edge or thinking about pains help me.
Hi you not alon with this horrible feeling whan I had my son my panic attacks start after 4 weeks it's was horrible experience I have since than I control my panic attacks and anxiety just be relex it will end soon you have to be think positive that nothing wrong with you its just all my negative thoughts good luck
Lexie I just had my son a year ago and that's what started my anxiety! I have severe anxiety and panic attacks! I also have the fear of dying and cancer! The fear overwhelms me to the point of functioning! You are not alone and I am here to talk because your story sounds just like me! Every new symptoms I look up online which cause panic because very symptoms could be linked to some kind of cancer
Yeah that is what I panic about but today, I actually Google something different, and for the first time in 12 weeks because of this, I have felt fine and not been on edge or had a panic attack today. I Google the risk of cancer for my age group and got the stats from cancer research so they are very accurate, in 2011 there was only around 890 people in the UK diagnosed with cancer in the women ages between 18-24. There are 70 million people in the UK. That's 1 in 70,000 people my age get cancer a year. It has given me peace of mind that it is very very rare, I actually have more chance of winning the lottery. Take a look for yourself, It really satisfies me that I now know everyone who suffered with panic and health anxiety all think about things such as brain tumors cause of headaches, stomach cancer cos of change in digestive System, the list goes on when they are all just side effects of anxiety, I also got ibs from my panic attacks and I thought it was the end of me. Now I see its so common to get ibs when your anxious ,
