Help !!! My daughters left today to spend a week with their father. I have had panick attacks throughout the day and I am sooooo sad. The tears are just coming and I can't stop them. My girs are the only thing that keeps me from going off the deep end. What am I going to do? Gotta go outside and have a cigarrette. Talk to me please.

Just have a good cry and then think of a distraction. Watch some daytime TV, read a book, take a bubble bath, go for a walk, write in your journal and know you are doing what's best for the children. They need to have contact with both of you.

I'm so sorry you are feeling bad, talk on here for a while, it has helped me no end in the past.

i know exactly how you feel i went to india this without my 2 boys for 2 weeks cause i thought i needed some time to myself.
BIG MISTAKE. i was having panic attacks every night, crying i couldnt enjoy any of it and my days were spent searching for babies to cuddle. now im back i cant have even a night without them. it is unhealthy though, you do need time to yourself , so much more when your bipolar. just try to enjoy the time to yourself an remember they will be back before you know its even been a week.
also - one plus! you can spend more time online talking to us wonderful people!

One week without her and you're ready to dive off the deep end? What kind of intense pressure have you laid on this child? She cannot be your anchor to sanity and purpose. I hope you get the proper medical attention you need and set this child free before she flees from you for good. She doesnt deserve this. Get better for her sake.

Otterheart, I don't put any pressure on my daughters. I love them and miss them when they aren't with me. You don't have any right to talk to me that way when I was only asking for some support. So piss off

    Food Allergy?

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
