Hi I just want to share my story as I can not cope any longer.
My anxiety started about 10 months ago. It was more of a social anxiety.. I've always been a very confidant loud outgoing happy person and out of no where everything has changed. I got a new job which I felt abit isolated as everyone I worked with was alot older than me. I started to keep my self to my self and became alot quieter. I also fount out at this point I was pregnant (couldn't be happier) my family life is perfect I have an amazing partner and 6 year old son and great family that are always there to help. But for some reason I completely changed as a person I've became so isolated in myself I didn't go out for months I was scared of bumping into people (people I new) I didn't want to talk to anyone or do anything.. I always hid this very well and pretended I was fine to every one else even though I'd force myself out and do things which killed me inside. I looked happy but inside I felt awful I wud feel sick and be shaking and my legs wud feel like absolute jelly. I've had this feel constant for months now and it never goes away it just gets worse when I go out. My 2nd son is born now and he's 3 months old and now my anxiety has gotten worse but in a different way.. I'm not too bad with going out (maybe because I feel better that I have him with me I don't no) but now I fear that somthing bad is going to happen all the time. I am even worse as now the left few weeks I have felt sick to my stomach, I've not been able to eat at all somtimes and I'm not sleeping at night. I'm so tired and so drained and I'm sick of constantly feeling so ill and shakey inside my legs feel the worse as they r so jellyish.. I keep thinking my son's r going to die and it's so disturbing but I can't handle it anymore I'm sick of crying. I have a great partner and family but I hide this so well nobody knows and everyday is such a struggle just pretending I feel fine and faking every thing. My family home is perfect and I get help I never get stressed with my children I just carnt deal with myself and how I feel anymore.. I hope sombody can help me now I've finally opened up about it

Firstly I think you need someone you can confide in! Your spouse or close friend, someone who will understand you and offer you support. Also, you need to speak to your doctor about this as you may have a combination of Anxiety and post partum since your child was born and your symptoms have seemed to change. This board I am finding is great support but you also need personal support. Curious, are you nursing your baby or bottle feeds? Reason I ask is your doctor may want to put you on something to help balance you out and maybe they could not with nursing. Best of luck to you and whenever you need a vent, we are all here and in the same boat or a similar boat for sure! Take care!

Give up stimulants (alcohol caffeine smoking drugs)
Sort your diet out, eat healthy lots of leafy greens, nice tea's cut out the sugar.
Get some kalms to help your sleep or another natural remedy, (I use kalms)
Learn to breath correctly. Anxiety is 100% controlled and sustained by your poor breathing habits. Breath full and through your nose and out through your mouth.
Find things that relax you (I don't know you, so maybe knitting or swimming)
Increase your exercise. It will produce serotonin and lower your cortisol levels. (Serotonin good! Cortisol bad¡)
If you're really struggling then get in contact with a company / charity called MIND or IAPT. Your GP can give you more info about IAPT, but I personally preferred MIND. Hope this helps.

it's hard to say dont worry because you will, we all do, your going throu a tough time and your not alone , we all do, yes it's worse than any condition you can think of, but dont, think positive, get mental health team help, get your family to read some of the stories on here, talk and talk to them again,with the right help you will get out of this way you are feeling, i and mnay others have been exactly the same with the same symptoms, only you can do this with a little help from others
take care
