    About Me

    I am a 31yr old married mother of a new little angle. It took 5 yrs to get her and we had to go through I.V.F to do that. I was blessed that It only took one time. She is everthing to me. Five years ago I was in a pretty bad car wreck which was not my fualt and do to that I was Diag- with PTSD I have had trouble with others being in control of things such as driving. I was put on meds and did well until I got preg, and went off of all meds. once baby came the PTSD seems to have got worse. I had to be put in the hospital after the baby was born because I went three days with out sleep. It was as though I forgot how to. I felt as though if I took my eyes off of her something would happen. of course I am back on my meds but I still have many panic atticks and it is all centered around the baby. I am afraid that somthing may happen to her. the Doc says that he has treated many women for this after child birth and that it is normal. What ever normal is now a days. hope to get some advise and give it to those who may need it.

    Interests

    I AM INTERESTED TO HELP OTHERS WHO ARE GOING THROUGH WHAT I AND MANY HUSBAND WENT THROUGH. I HOPE BY READING MY ENTRIES SOMEONE WILL HAVE HOPE.

      From EricaN Yesterday

      Thanks. I keep thinking it's teething, but I'm not sure. Last night she was on Tylenol all night because of her shots, so I thought she might sleep better... I guess not.
