Postpardum Panic Disirder
I had my youngest son 1 year ago. I was diagnosed with postpartum panic disorder 4 weeks later and am still suffering with sudden panic attacks. Sometimes I'll feel better for awhile and start to think it finally went away then boom. They're back. Sometimes once or twice a week, sometimes every day all day for weeks. Nothing triggers them, they just suddenly hit. Idk what's wrong with me or why this wont go away. My son is a year old. Its postpardum panic and I'm not considered postpardum anymore so why wont it go away? I've been to numerous doctors.... my thyroid is fine, my brain is fine, my hormones are fine so why am I not fine? Has anyone else dealt with this or is dealing with this? I feel so alone.
I'm sorry @NikkiPostpardum. I don't have expereince with post pardum panic disorders but I can tell that you have been affected greatly by having to endure it this long. I know how frustrating it can be visit doctor after doctor for an explanation and always coming back empty handed. When I wasn't getting the answers I was looking for from my multiple doctor's visits, I got discouraged and stopped making appointments. Since then, my symptoms have gotten worse and my motivation to seek out help again have remained low. It can be hard to go back to something after a break.
I realize that its been a while since you originally posted this. I hope that the panic attacks have subsided. I hope that you didn't give up like I did with my health concern and you eventually found the answers you were looking for. If not, I'm here to talk to. Like I said, I don't have post pardum panic but I am not unfaamiliar with having panic attacks in general. Hopefully we can find strategies to lower the severity of your attacks until you find a way to get rid of them entirely.
@NikkiPostpardum I used to chain smoke cigarettes because of those. I hate them. I take a ton of medications now. I alter my lifestyle, no coffee cigarrettes or excess candy. Sleep often and avoid triggers. I still have surprise attacks. I feel someone causes them but I am informed that is psychosis. I think the secret societies experiment on us illegally.
