here it goes again.
my heart hurts. i think maybe ive been haveing panic attacks. it happens when im alone most of the time folding laundry or awke in the middle of the night when the baby wakes up. my breatheing gets really fast and my chest tightens up and my heart starts to hurt and i just cry. i think about my fmily and it triggers this to happen.

last night i was thinking about christmas and how things used to be and how different they are now nd i started to hyperventalate almost and i had to calm myself down because i didnt want travis to see i was getting upset. i dont like it when he sees me getting sad or mad or missing my family. i dont know why. maybe because we fight about it so much?

i lopve this time of year and i love christmas
but god why am i so sad? whats wrong with me? Sad

Hon, you need to talk to a professional about this. You run a pretty risky course when you develop physical symptoms from being depressed and feeling anxiety. I experienced panic attacks often when I was depressed (particularly during and right after the holidays. They're not good for your body.

I hope your heart feels better soon!
Merry Christmas.

Perhaps it only happens when you are alone because that is the only time it can happen? You say you won't let your bf see you upset. So when he's not home, you let it out. That's not a safe environment for a newborn child though. And what sort of bf/father is this guy?? You have to hide your feelings? I never hid my feelings and I lost my ex because as soon as the going got tough, he got going... And he ran away and let other people help me instead. and I lost him because of my depression and self-esteem issues. It has NOT been an easy road. Especially if this guy is the father of your child... You need to fix that situation before you wind up worse off...
