Hi everyone. I'm new to the board and just wanted to pop in and introduce myself. I have gone through hell and back with anxiety and depression, my most current bout just ending a few weeks ago. I just had my 4th child and went through such bad depression and anxiety while on meds that I thought I was never coming back.
And here I am. I'm back. So if anyone needs living proof of someone coming back from the depths of hell, I'm here!
I do have some anxiety from day to day as my kids are so little - my youngest two are only 18 months apart and I'm finding it so difficult some days. I do my best, I know that's all I can do, but I wish I could have more patience with my family. I wish I could just let all the anxieties go.....free them all.
Anyway, just thought I'd say hello. Any other mothers of little ones out here?

Hi Stacey!
Sheri Ann
Welcome!
I have three "medium" kids - oldest dd is 9 and twin dds are 6.
I just started having panic attacks, anxiety, insomnia two months ago. I can't believe it's only been 2 months - it's like it consumed my life! I have been on Lexapro for almost a month - that's helped the anxiety and panic attacks a lot. The insomnia is getting a little better but I have to take Klonopin to help me sleep (I was taking Xanax for a month before that).
I'm glad things are looking up for you. It's so hard to take care of ourselves when going through something like this, much less taking care of our kids.
