Gigi welcome to this friendly and supportive forum.

I am so sorry you feel that your anxiety is high. Looking after and 8 year old and a baby would be tiring, rewarding and frustrasting at times.

have you spoken to a doctor or a friend or family member about how you feel.

If you browse the website of Beyond Blue there are many posts and many articles about anxiety you way want to read.

welcome again

thanks quirky,
I'm not at expressing my thoughts and feelings but today I spoke with my partner about how I'm feeling today. I started back on my meds. I'm just scared of my frustration especially with my kids. I can't see my pych as it's to expensive right now. just needed somewhere I could talk to some one. also not good with talking on the phone either.

I can't see my psych as it's too expensive for me I've started back on my medication today as I feel it's time shouldn't of come off them.

Hello you,I too suffer extreme anixity,my children are older now 20 and17,with my First Child I was so worried all the time,it's a huge life change so I ended up taking antidepressants after going to my health care nurse doing a survey and discovering I had post natal depression,looking back now it was so obvious,I didn't want to be alone I made my partner bring the mattress out to the lounge room at night cause I didn't want to be alone in the middle of the night feeding baby.It was different with my second child I knew what was too come.You have had a big break between babies so it's different.you prob have pnd which is so commen,you are not alone.Dont feel bad your doing the hardest job on earth! Go talk to your GP or health nurse to guide you,I hope this helps x
