Hi Yavonne,
Welcome. I'm fairly new to this board as well and have found it very helpful and supportive so far. I have an eight month old as well. She was born on Dec. 18th. And I've been experiencing a lot of anxiety for about the last 2 or 3 months. I also don't know if it's postpartum depression. I've talked to my doctor and she's not sure either. She wants to see how I feel before making that diagnosis. I tried taking celexa but it just did not agree with me so now I just take Ativan on an as need basis.

What are your anxieties generally about?

Hi Yavonne and WELCOME!!
I have panic disorder and am going through a stressful
time right now. Fortunately I am not having Panic Attacks!!
THANK GOD! I go to a therapist who does hypnosis and take
meds. The hypnosis is very helpful! Do you have panic attacks?
How do you deal with stress? Keep posting! Take care, Judy

Hello Yavonne, and welcome to the community. I have been here for a few months and have been suffering with anxiety disorder for about a year and a half now. It is getting better and I have cut down on my pills. I take Xanax.....but I would like to wean myself from them. I also take them as needed but for a while I needed them quite a bit. This is a great place to read other stories and a good place to vent as well. Take care, JanW

I'm not sure what is considered a "panic attack?"
