Panic attack

I've not been alone in a while with just me and my child. My husband is working and will be 45 minutes away and my mother will be 45minutes the other direction. I'm extremely terrified of being alone today I can't sleep this is in my mind heavy and I feel like I may end up in the hospital. Can anyone help me? Talk to me? Am I the only person having this issue?

Get yourself and your baby/child out for a walk. Fresh air makes everything better. You need to look after your child today; focus on that. You can do this.

Agree, get yourself out and distracted, have you got a friend or neighbour you could pop in and have a cuppa with?

I know it's scary but you've got this. You are all your baby needs, as ling as you know how to feed her, change her and call emergency services if anything happens you will both be absolutely fine! At the end of today you're going to be so proud of yourself xx

Do you have access to a health visitor? I know mine has a phone number to someone who will talk with me or put me through to someone who can chat x

I used to suffer with this feeling and I promise you, getting out and being around people even if it’s just to the supermarket helps so much. I know it can feel daunting and scary but try not to identify with your intrusive thoughts that are making you feel this way. Your thoughts are not fact, you are just the one observing them even though they can feel scary. Call your mum and talk on the phone or FaceTime if that helps. You got this and it will get better, your fears get worse when avoiding them so try and make small steps in facing them when you can and you will start to notice a difference. There’s a book by Paul David which helped me massively so I recommend that if you can get a chance to read it xx

I am literally going through the same exact thing. And the feeling of needing to go to the hospital is real. Definitely message me♥️

How are you feeling, have you had a good day so far? X

Sorry to hear that what has worked for me is to sleep it off to be honest. I know you have a baby at home with you, but if the baby is napping, I will say nap with it also showering I found that that helps just being there in the water.

@Fay I'm sorry I'm just learning how to reply
