About Me
I'm a mother to two girls, ages 1 and 5. I am recovering from a postpartum thyroid problem that is finally getting much better. I also suffer from anxiety and depression, but I am finding a lot of strength from God and my family. They are helping me get through this, one day at a time! 1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: 2 a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; 3 a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; 4 a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; 5 a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; 6 a time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; 7 a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; 8 a time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

I’m With You
Hi! I hate to hear that, so sorry. I had one, too. In a way, hate to say, it was a blessing for me, my 2nd husband wasn't much of a husband....I would be all alone, I actually was when I miscarried. He watched tv while I screamed in pain. I'm ok about it now, hope things are well for you. Going to write a new journal entry here in a sec, easier to put it all in one place if you'd like to read it. Take care, Sweetie!!!

Support Groups
Close Anxiety
I have been suffering from anxiety on and off my entire life, I believe. I can remember being afraid of choking when I was in 5th grade, hyperventalating during my high school years, and bouts of anxiety after childbirth. I recently lost my father, and over the last couple of months, my anxiety has returned full force.
Treatments
- Xanax Working / Worked
- I only take a tiny bit of Xanax when I feel anxious or having a panic attack. I only take it when needed, sometimes only once or twice a week, sometimes twice a day.
- Lexapro Not Working
- I tried this medicine and it made me so sick to my stomach that I couldnt take another dose. I also felt very spacy until it finally wore off about 9 hours after I took it.
Close Hyperthyroidism
I became hyper after the birth of my child. I am sure I have had this problem before, after the birth of my first child, but it was misdiagnosed as panic disorder. It's been almost a year since I have been on meds and things are getting better, but sometimes I still feel very tired and weak.
Treatments
- Methimazole Working / Worked
- Started at 20mg/day, was upped to 30mg/day, then back down to 20 and now I am at 10!
Open Bereavement
Type: Loss of a ParentI lost my dad to lung cancer on October 4, 2007. He was only 55 years old, and I am only 26. It's been such a difficult road, I miss him so much.
Treatments
- Crying Working / Worked
- Sometimes crying just lets out all of the negative emotions inside, I usually feel better after a good cry.
- Grief Counseling Not Working
- I quit going to counseling after 4 sessions. My therapist was measuring my grief process on a timeline, and told me that the process ends at 3 months. Um...I don't think so.
- Prayer Working / Worked
- God is the best medicine.
- Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
- Talking Working / Worked
Open Pre-menstrual Syndrome (PMS)
caitlynsmom4 hasn’t entered any details for this support group.Open Miscarriage
On September 10, 2008, I went in for my 12 week appointment. The doppler found no heartbeat, and neither did the abdominal ultrasound. A doctor was called in to do a vaginal ultrasound, and the baby had passed. On September 15th, I woke up to cramps, and then a gush of fluid. After that, I had large amounts of blood and tissue. I went to the hospital, and was in the OR within a few hours to have a D&C.
Treatments
- D&C Working / Worked
- I was put under and had the D&C. I had already started to miscarry on my own and was in a lot of pain. I woke up and the pain was gone. I haven't had any complications, and I am glad I didn't have to go through the entire miscarriage by myself. I wouldn't have been able to handle it.
