I have been feeling constantly anxious all the time. I haven't been able to feel at ease at all, even when I am alone. The things I am always worrying about are my daily responsibilities, my marriage, and my daughter. I used to be able to see that even with all the drama going on in my life, everything would work out and I was happy. I used to be able to take one thing at a time, and not worry about what was ahead of me. I used to have faith in my husband, now I question his love and commitment to me. I used to be confident I was a good mother, now I worry about every little thing my daughter does that isn't perfectly healthy. I am starting to not like the person that I have become- the stressed out mom/wife that doesn't do anything for myself and resents everyone else for it. I am afraid that my desire for everything to be perfect and my feeling that I am far from it, is affecting my ability to be happy. There is no way that I am interested in taking pharmaceudical drugs because I feel that for me the risks far outweigh the benefits, but I want to learn how to be happy again, and trust in myself and others. I also want to learn how to say no to others, because I really have a longing for acceptance and friendship, and I always agree to do things that I don't have time and energy for so people will like me. Any advice would really be appreciated, especially if you have overcome feelings like this before.
Have you seen a counselor? That might be really really helpful. Especially if you can find that with whom you feel comfortable working with and trust.
I agree! And..PM me if you need anything hunny!
I felt like this after I had Rylee, I was soooo worried about her all of the time that I never took time for myself because I didn't think that moms were supposed to do that. Then I would take it out on bd and tell him that he never did anything to help me. It got to the point that I just cried and cried all of the time and after a few weeks of crying and nervous breakdowns, My mind and body just shut down. I didn't want anything to do with anyone except my daughter. I eventually got over it, I would definately reccomend seeing a doctor or counselor. I think it would help alot. PM me if you need/ want to talk!
