I’ve suffered from GAD and panic attacks ever since I was about 11 (triggered by the death of my grandmother) I basically get the whole listen of symptoms both physical and mental.. I’ve had periods of time where it’s not so bad and periods where it’s crippling. I’m a mom now to an amazing 18 month old little boy. He’s the greatest things that’s ever happened to me. Unfortunately my health anxiety has gotten worse since having him because my biggest fear now is something happening to me and not being there for him because he’s such a mommas boy which I love. Also, anything happening to him is also a huge fear and I try to not be too overprotective..I know a few people I went to school with who have tragically passed away (cancer, car wreck,etc) who had young children and it breaks my heart… my anxiety lately has been bad again and I’m trying to figure out how to handle it.. I’m scared of prescriptions and used to use thc (medically legal) which always helped but makes me worse now that I’m a mom.  My son still doesn’t sleep good either so I’m always super tired which I don’t think helps. Any advice or similar experiences are much appreciated. Thanks for reading!
