I cant sleep I cant eat, I cant think clearly, I keep telling myself things are only going to get better, but then I think I'm lying to myself, and think NO its not, your going to be like this forever, I was doing great before the Dr. switched me to fast off the meds I was on, But I must say that the zoloft has brought some normal back in me, but now I have Anxiety Morning-noon and night, all I want to do is wake up again and not feel so scared of the day that is ahead of me. I think it is that I have been out of reality for 2 months (because of the med change) and getting out and live and see whats going on in the world may help, but I dont feel like doing nothing, and I'm not a forcing myself person, I get shaky all the time (maybe its because I cant eat), I havent been a good Mom lately, and that really bothers me, I want to cry, but I have had no emotion for 2 months, People does it get better, This is my cry for Help!

I don't have a lot to offer you other than there are others out here in the same boat.....and it's REALLY getting to me too. I've had morning anxiety every day for a year and a half. Nothing seems to help....even xanax just takes the edge off. I don't know what to do.
One thing you should do is make sure your thyroid gland is working well. There are many similarities between emotional problems and thyroid problems. I believe mine are thyroid related but can't seem to get my meds right.
I wish you luck. I is horrible and no one can understand it without experiencing it. Get you thyroid TSH checked though. You never know!

I feel for ya it is terrible to feel that way so often.I agree you should,if you havent already,get your doctor to make sure your thyroid is fine,but yeah not eating and things will take a toll on yaas they say "you are what you eat" and that rings very true.Dont feel so bad about not mothering the same as before as long as you are doing the best you can right now and your kids are ok.We all get down and out sometimes doesnt make you weak or a bad person or mother.I would sugesst if there is anyone you can get to come over for a while every day or every other to help you out with the kids and all right now you should do that.That would prob take some of the stress and worry off you which of course in turn creates more anxiety.......until the meds start working better which I think that may be the issue they just havent kicked in good yet.If all fails go back to your doctor and explain it all to them they should be able to find something that will work for you.

wish you the best believe me I know it is very hard with kids but try to relax and make yourself eat something start off small crackers or something ,bland things.
