Hi everyone, i guess just out with it is best?? i haven't been so public with stuff before, guess i must feeling pretty bad.
Basically since I learnt i was pregnant - about 3 years ago, I became a hypochondriac, but not for me for my son. I worried about everything from Downs syndrome to ...well you name it, i worried about it. I thought it would stop when he was born, but its just got worse to the point where i can't leave him with anyone, i even get anxious when my husband takes him in the car.. which he has stopped doing, cause i just lose it...anyway. it's crippling, i can't take drugs for it, i just can't do it, i did try a small dose of antidepressant once, but felt so sick. i am getting counselling but its not a fast fix is it?? Thought perhaps there might be someone else out there who suffers from this particular type of anxiety. My son has food allergies (although not terribly severe) and it is this that is the main focus for my worries- someone giving him something that he will react to.. he is a terrible sleeper and i know that i still suffer from sleep deprivation which makes this all so much worse...
anyway, that's me in a nutshell! nice to meet you all.
