I’m having really bad anxiety and I tried really hard to be ok and I keep having like bad thoughts in my head. I’m a mom of 3 and I began having like thinking I’m going to hurt my kids. Im really scared and I don’t have anyone that can help me with my children. I’ve look for help but no one wants to help me because I currently have no insurance. I’m really sad and crying all the time. And I just need answers of why this is happening to me. Two days ago I was fine. I was just having anxiety not bad thoughts or sadness

I am truly sorry you are feeling anxious and having bad thoughts. It’s no fun and hope it passes and you can find an answer that will help you. can you identify what maybe triggered these thoughts?

[Snicole25 in reply to eyerazzi]

I really don’t know. I Think I might be being along with them because my husband works all day and recently he was staying with me because of my anxiety but he can’t because he has to work. And know that I’m being along I created that bad thoughts

I just want to Welcome you here. Do you know that you can call 988 for support? It might help to have someone to talk to.

[Snicole25 in reply to gajh]

Already call but didn’t help much. Only referred me to other phone number

[gajh in reply to Snicole25]

Well I am glad you are here with us. Is your husband supportive? Are you able to reach out to him for support? Will he be home soon?

[Snicole25 in reply to gajh]

He’s very supportive but he’s the only one that works so he can’t stay with me. And no he is back at 12am

[gajh in reply to Snicole25]

Are you able to communicate with him while he is at work? I am glad to hear that he is supportive. Wish he could be home with you.

[Snicole25 in reply to gajh]

he doesn’t have signal at work he’s tries to text me when he can, but It makes me more anxious

[gajh in reply to Snicole25]

Why does it make you more anxious when he texts you?

[Snicole25 in reply to gajh]

No, i meant it makes me more anxious when he’s at work because I can’t talk with him

[gajh in reply to Snicole25]

Sorry I misunderstood that. I wish you could be in touch with him. Even through texts.

[Snicole25 in reply to gajh]

If you feel you are going to hurt your children you need to go to an emergency room.

How old are your children?

1, 6, 10.

Im ok right now I’m just very anxious. And this bad thoughts happens every time my husband is going to work I think is just scared of being alone because of my anxiety. Sometimes, I create in my mind that I’m scared that I would hurt them. But then I start to cry and I look at them and I feel very guilty and then I’m sad all day. And that’s why I get scared

[Dolphin14 in reply to Snicole25]

So you have a young one. My first thought was post partum depression?

[Snicole25 in reply to Dolphin14]

well I don’t think so , but it could be I was ok all this time why now 😞

[Dolphin14 in reply to Snicole25]

I don't know. That would be a question for a doctor.

[Dolphin14 in reply to Snicole25]

You are not alone here

Someone is always around

[Snicole25 in reply to Dolphin14]

Thank you so much ! I’m really so tired of anxiety I can’t even go in peace to get groceries because I get panics attacks. And It’s been only like 2 weeks with this. And it feels like forever I hope it goes away soon

[Dolphin14 in reply to Snicole25]

I'm very sorry. I've had many anxiety and panic attacks so I do understand what you are experiencing

[Snicole25 in reply to Dolphin14]

is horrible!!! I’m doing a lot of vagus nerve reset videos and just changed to a diet with no dairy to see if it helps

[RubymyT in reply to Snicole25]

many years ago . i had anxiety attacks . what helped me was guided meditation. Not like relaxing music, you can get in on cd's at the library. there will be someone talking to you and have you do special exercises to distract you from the anxiety. you are laying down when you do them, the hardest part I found was not falling asleep.

I also had to go to a psychologist because the guided meditation was a kind of band aid. He taught me relaxation ,hypnotized me and taught me to hypnotize myself. There was something in my past that was causing the anxiety , after I faced it , through the hypnosis , I never had another one. I had 3 little ones at the time , what made me fight it was knowing I had to take care of my little ones. You have to find some way to get some help , even if its a family doctor and get medication to calm down and then maybe work on waht it is that is supressed.

Just saying what helped me.

[boojiboo in reply to Snicole25]

Maybe for the time being try grocery pickup or delivery?

Forgive me if you already use these ideas. Find out about mindfulness, but you do need some quiet space to focus quietly on your breathing.

Learn about Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. I have only used it with a professional and with a pre-programmed course. Here's an online site that may be useful. It's useful for depression and anxiety, amongst other conditions.
