Had children very close together. Had anxiety problems before and now suffering again. Anyone here taking medication for anxiety? I feel so ashamed but I feel like I am losing patience with my children and I want to be a great mom. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

Wow I felt like I was reading my own thoughts. Same story. Find someone- therapist, doctor, friend-- you need support however you can get it. All moms need support to be good moms. No one can do it alone. I learned that after I had my meltdown. It gets better once you gets some help. You'll make it!! [ Reply | More
