Severe panic attacks - help! Any counsellor recommendations? Post Reply

[Mumof3munchkins]

I am a mum of three, the youngest is just over four months old. In the last few days I have been getting really awful panic attacks and have a feeling of anxiety most of the time. My husband thinks it could be a form of post natal depression. I've never experienced this before and feel like I am going mad. I have been to the doctor and have beta blockers but still can't shake the anxious feeling and the rising panic. Has anyone experienced this before? if so, how did you deal with it? Can anyone recommend a counsellor that specialises in post natal depression / panic attacks? I need to get on top of this! Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have some experience of this (though not as a mum!). Please do DM if you'd like to but prob best bet is to go back to your GP and ask for a referal. What I would say is that this is a passing phase and you will be 100% OK! You will come through it a better stronger person.
