Constant anxiety when my children are ill
Posted , 2 users are following.
Hi I am 24 and a mum of 3 children 4, 2 and 4months over a year ago I started having really bad panic attacks and a general feeling of anxiety it started when my 2 eldest were constantly ill for 2 months, I feel constantly anxious when my children are unwell i have the feeling that i cannot cope even though i no i can, i won't let them go to soft play or use public toilets, go to friend houses on play dates i am terrified of germs i constantly clean with detol bleach anything that kills germs, wash my hand and their hands when they have played with other children's toys, i make my self physically ill with worry, even though i no that common illnesses rarely cause and harm to them, my son who is 4 months old had bacterial meningitis 5 weeks ago and during the whole time i constantly cried though the worst of the situation even though i was reassured by doctors and my husband that he was doing well. When they are ill have to constantly clean and wash everything i really hate the feelings and have defiantly got worse over the past few months. what can i do? i am currently on 10mg of citalopram which isn't even touching it, but i really don't want tablets to be a long term answer
