[butterflykiss]

My anxiety levels have gone threw the roof and I dont no what to do or if im on the right medication for it. Can anyone help me with this as its causing my depression to increase and my nerves have left me shaking so bad that I cant even hold a cup without spillin the contents. Really extremely anxious right now..

Thank you for answering and I am so sorry to hear about yout tremor. That must be so hard to deal with. Im not just anxious, im bi-polar also and have been seeing a counselor for the sexual abuse. I just feel so down right now and the break up is part of that also. The bit that gets me is how can you walk away from a disabled boy who needs looking after 24/7 because of his condition and leave me on my own to cope... I feel as if im drowning and there is no hand to bring me back....I really hope and pray that you get whatever treatment you need for that tumor and yes im going back to the doctor to see if anything can be done. I really don't want to tell the doctor everything im hearing, feeling and my thoughts because I am afraid they will take my son away from me...if I only new what to do x

AnxiousMe had some great advice, work closely with your doctor and tell him everything. They can't help you if they only know half the story. The most difficult challenge is telling yourself "Everything will be alright" but you have too. I love this community because we can all relate to what you are going through. Sleepless nights, fatigue, heart palpitations, dizziness, etc. My biggest challenge was the mental side of things. I read a lot of books and studied Zen. Try meditating and just clearing your mind. It seems impossible but if you sit still long enough you can do it, I have an active, always worrying mind but I was capable of meditation. Try this every morning. Even if it means waking up 20 mins before your son. It will help if you dedicate yourself to it.

hi,looking after a child on your own,is very stressful,and It really dosen,t help your anxiety any,I would open up to someone,a dr,a family member,or a good friend,ask for a little help,its no shame to need support,I had 3 kids under 6 and rearing them was very hard,I eventually had to ask for help,as I started to take panic attacks,I was trying to do it all myself,and no one is that strong,there was never any question of my kids being taken off me,and when I got help,the relief lifted my anxiety,my mood improved,and life seemed good again,but your first step is to ask for help,people will understand,believe me,your body,your brain can only take so much,let us know how you are getting on..love Miarose.xxxxx

Some great advice and thank you all. Yes i do need to open up more but i have trust issues also.Typing this down makes me sound so angry at myself and i should be more open to those who are trying to help me now. I do think t is because of all the times i went to get help i wasnt taken seriously and that effected my confidence and stopped me from expressing everything that was going on with me.I am so happy that i have found this and that there are people who totally understand me and wont make me feel stupid or Crazy!!! Yep one did say that word to me... I am really going to try my best and with the help of you to move on and live my life again. x
