Do you 'enjoy' spending time with your kids?
- Yes, most of the time we really have fun together
- Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's really dull and aggravating
- Honestly most of the time it's not fun at all, but it's not supposed to be fun
- I really don't enjoy it at all, and wish I could spend less time with them

Moms I need support right now...please.. I am a mom who suffers from panic/anxiety/sometimes OCD.. Had PPD OCD after birth. Anyway was on meds after birth for 2 yrs. did ok. Weaned off meds slowly under dr's care and now med-free. I'm ok EXCEPT for PMS time (for about 8 days before my period). I feel like I am going crazy sometimes. My db is 2.5 yrs old and for 2 days has been very difficult. I WOHM so maybe I am not used to this. BUT I cried today and broke down. Feld like I couldn't take it anymore THEN part of me says It is just a 2 year old acting up - get a grip. BUT in the heat oof it it does not feel that way. She is very defiant and never listens. I feel terrible even saying that cause I love her so much. I feel like a shitty, bad mother and that is also making me anxious..... help
7 replies [ Reply | Watch | MoreThe first step (if you aren't already) is healthy diet and exercise. Sounds obvious, but I've seen huge benefits. Are you on a birth control pill? That can be very helpful for some women. Finally, consider going back on a low dose SSRI. You can even try taking the meds for just the two weeks before your period in some cases.
[ Reply | More ]I have been suffering from something similar for almost my entire adult life and I have just thought that perhaps it's just normal pms but honestly I don't think it is. I have anxiety attacks and feel like I am going to die, but only for 4 days before and after my period. I guess I should be talking to my GYN or to my PCP. I am on YAZ and it has helped quite a bit but I need something else.
[ Reply | More ]You nad I should seriously talk because I know exactly how you feel. I suffer from PPA - post pardum anxiety. I am fine most of the time but PMS is the worst. I have emotional break-downs and I just cry and feel incompetent and stupid for feeling these things. It's so hard and it has at a lot of times become unbearable. My dd is 2 and very defiant, never wanting to listen or obey, not coming when I call, and laughing when I raise me voice. Trust me I completely understand!!!
