having anxiety attacks

I have anxiety and have been on meds for almost 3 months again since I had my baby. I have been having anxiety attacks just about everyday. I can feel them coming on and there are times that they come on way too fast and hits me hard too. I am to the point that I want to walk away from things that are going on in my life. I am stressing about my school work, the bills, my kids and a lot more. I feel so lost almost all the time and I just feel like I am in another place right now. I don't know what to do anymore.

I can sense the distress you are in. Firstly, congrats on the baby. I am currently going through a very stressful point in my life. I got terminated at my job because the manager didn't think I was a right fit for the company I was working for. I thought I had job security but I guess not. Now I stress about how I'm going to pay for my bills, my rent, and all other expenses that come with being an adult. I came to the conclusion that I need to formulate a plan. That's something that maybe you should consider doing. Take steps to make yourself less stressed about certain situations.

For example:
"I am stressing about my school work"
(List ways that you can feel less stressed about your school work.
and do this for all of the things that you are worried or stressing over.)

That helps you realize that each thing has a solution. Whether it is hard or not. You are mentally capable of doing great things but Anxiety is something that impairs a persons way of thinking and in my opinion, it's more difficult to go about doing things when you have anxiety present. But just know that things aren't always as bad as they seem. And you will overcome this. Be good to yourself and I wish you the best of luck.

It sounds like you have a lot on your plate. I don't blame you for feeling overwhelmed! Do you have other people in your life you can lean on? I don't have any kids myself, but I have many friends that do. I see a lot of young mothers trying to shoulder everything by themselves, reluctant to ask for more help from family, friends, or the baby's dad. It's okay to say you can't handle it all. You deserve to step back and take a break and let someone else step in some times. Take good care of yourself, and you will take good care of your kids.

Having somone to talk to and lean on is definitely super important at this point. With so much on your plate. I find talking abotu my anxiety and life helped me loads. I will be asking to go back to therapy now that my anxiety is back . Just being on here tho and chatting about my views and stuff has helped.

Do you do yoga? I know you seem super busy already , but I do a bit of yoga every day . about 20 mins in the morning when my kid naps and it helps to clear my head . I do it on youtube. Tara stiles is really good for all sorts of different levels!!!
