Hey Debbie! I know you feel like your plate is full right now and I know it's hard to do, but take one moment at a time and work through each problem one at a time. Don't take everything on at once because that always makes things worse. See if your husband can figure out a way to work less. Maybe get a different job? Help your son with his homework and talk to his teacher to see what you can do to help him do better. But, remember that it is up to him and it is not your fault if he is having problems. Do what you can, but don't beat yourself up over it. The bleeding will go away. Menstruation changes all the time - try not to worry about it. One moment at a time. One problem at a time. One day at a time. It's ok to not be able to do everything all the time - doing so only causes emotional problems. Regarding the therapy and the medication, I remember you saying you just started a new medication last week or the week before. It takes about 4 weeks for new meds to kick in so give it time. Therapy can really take a long time. Give it time. There is no instant relief - it took a long time for things to build up and spill over into panic. It will take time to get through it but you have to keep working on it. It takes a lot of determination and perseverance. Therapy brings out the things we've been avoiding and that's why it's so hard to deal with at first. It gets easier if you keep working on it - I promise! Don't give up - you are stronger than you think!

I had my therapist appt today and right after she left I had the biggest panic attack, she seems to think all my problems phobias fears and panic stem from my Father, he did spank alot harsh punishment, very cold and callous, but I thought that was just the times in the seventies and eighties, I thought therapy was supposed to help? The medicine from my nurse is not working either, my husband worked 16 hours straight and has to work another 16 hours straight, my little one is having trouble at school! It never ends, I am bleeding so bad and I am alone all night, its so scary, my sister said I was "not even living" which was very depressing to hear, its hard to live when you are emotionally and physically sick day after day, if the meds fail and the therapy does where do you go? I have been praying so hard for help and healing, Meds and therapy I know are not a cure all but never did I imagine it would make my anxiety panic and depression worse, my only hope is God and prayer, I hope you all will pray for me, I feel so discouraged, I despise living like this, afraid all the time. I started the panic program/Diary a few days ago I hope it helps and brings relief, I feel like I have exhausted all my options and there is nothing left to do, and I most certainly do NOT want to put my husband and child through any misery I love them too much for that, it seems all my life has become is illness and panic. I am so scared always being alone with a little one. Thank you for your prayers and help. Debbie.
