I'm a new panic-attack sufferer. My attacks are infrequent, but consistent in their manifestation. They started after I had my first child and seem to be triggered by an irrational feeling that I'm failing to keep a close enough watch on my 18-month old daughter.
Most folks would say that I am NOT an overprotective mom, nor would they say my parenting skills suck. In fact, you'd likely hear the exact opposite from my friends and family.
Are there any other over-achieving mothers out there with panic attacks triggered by guilt/fear of failing as a parent?
I am SO glad to have found this message board. I'm feeling hopeful already that these attacks won't progress...
