Hello

[H5L82]

Im new here. I have major lack of coping skills, severe anixety, and panic attacks. After having my children i had severe post partum depression and I havent been the same sense. Im scared.

lh82,I am always so impressed when anyone has kids.Its such an accomplishment.I have severe depression and anxiety too.I don't think I could take care of a plant.I go to al-anon meetings to keep from being isolated and to learn how to view things more positively.Sometimes it is mind blowingly hard.When I'm depressed I pretty much stay terrified.Sometimes I watch videos of spiritual teachers like Ekhart Tolle or Byron Katie who both basically teach that its your thoughts that are torturing you,but other times I'm too far gone for that stuff to help.Anyway,I'm thinking of you.

That was a beautiful reply

Thank you. I need lots of prayers as I have my husband and kids who are really counting on me and need me.

What are al-anon meetings?

Lh, have you gone for help? Post partum depression can linger and it sounds like that's what's happening. Are you taking any medication or receiving counseling?

I have a 3 year old and a 9 year old. I dont think it can be post partum depression.
