Dealing with this makes me feel like a failure as a mother to my daughter!

[E2013]

Trying to learn to relax,so far my day has been a little rough. I really feel like a failure having anxiety I hate that I can’t be strong for my daughter dealing with it .

Just fighting through it demonstrates strength, to fail is to be human. Giving up is weakness. She will understand that, particularly as she gets older.

You are Strong ! first you recognise the problem ! second you have now reached out, and third you are NOT a failure! You have not said what Family support you have or don't have? have you spoken to a professional help yet? or do you think you can cope without it? As someone who suffers panic attacks and am agoraphobic I believe because of the panic attacks which are brought on because of anxiety! I think you have honestly done well just acknowledging you cant relax due to anxiety!

try to keep away from situations that make you anxious! or find a quiet place to sit perhaps with soft music and think of a place or someone who you remember with a happy feeling ,I do that and it helps me a little it may also help you as well? and please never put yourself down claiming to be a Failure(there is enough people in this world that put us all down for one reason or another we don't need to do it ourselves) Please try to be happy and don;t try to relax it may sound daft but many of us try to hard and that stops us! all the best Derek

Thank u so much just dealing with panic attacks really sucks I strongly believe every time that I am gonna pass out or die . I have a great family support system who help me any way they can . I have had a psychiatrist I was on medication but got off in February an I was doing fine but seems that the anxiety panic is back .

No one with anxiety is a Failure. But they are Strong Compassionate Understanding souls. To think of all the time spent doing for others in this state of mind is Amazing. It's takes Strength sometimes to just get out of bed. And once your up it takes Strength to perform daily duties. We are alot stronger than those who do not suffer this dibilitating problem on a daily basis. So you are not a Failure by no means. Pick your self up dust yourself off and say Today I'll be the strong person that shows everyone I didn't give up. Hugs to you.xxxxx
