Can’t leave the house! 😭

I’m looking for any and all advice. I have had anxiety most of my life but this past year had been the worst. It’s at a point where if I leave my house I’ll have a panic attack. I feel so isolated and my husband as supportive as he is, it’s feeling a lot of pressure due to having to do the stuff I normally would. I have to do online shopping or even uber/just eat if I’m home alone and need something from the shop. It’s making me more depressed and honestly I don’t enjoy my life. It’s impacting my kids too. I can’t even attend my own dr appointment 😭 I’m under mental health and on medication but I’m reaching out to you ladies for absolutely any advice you can give. Tia xx

Do you have a therapist? You can do phone appointments or video. It’s sounds like you have agoraphobia, ( I have a BA in psychology) just a very vague guess judging by the small bit posted here. You need medical intervention babe quick.

I suffer from epilepsy.
When dad passed away back in 2024 ,I was having one bad seizure after the next .they were that bad mum wldnt let me go to dads furnal.
Over the last 4 months ( the lead up to dads passing) i had seizures on buses ,in ubers .
Omg it got to the point I stopped leaving the house all together.
Its taken 2 yrs to leave the house without the fear of shit im gonna have one on the bus
I had severe anxiety attacks on the bus
I wont sit on the wheel
If that makes sense some seats are on top of the wheel and you
Can really feel the vibration.
I only go to the local mall
I haven't gone into town for yrs now .
Just like you I do most stuff online
Or walk .
The only thing I know to stay is dont give up on yourself ,try to push a little every day,small baby steps and dont push yourself to hard
I still freak when I get on the bus .but I try my best to keep my shit together

I suffer with anxiety too whats helped me recently is reiki healing you can watch videos on tiktok also Peter crone look him up it’s so true what he says about anxiety and how he expresses it can really make you realise and understand it’s all just fear you have to remember just being alive is a blessing and that whatever your going through is fear of the unkown your ego self tricking you not your soul self I’m also on sertraline and propranolol but all of this and researching and trusting it will pass has helped me so much hope this helps and you feel better soon 🙏🏻❤️

Is it ok to let a newborn (2weeks) sleep if already past birth weight or wake to feed ?

No hate for having a sleepy baby please my first was an awful sleeper so I know how triggering these posts can be 😂… but

My 2 week old slept for almost 6hours last night and we woke him even though he seemed pretty tired and would have slept longer. He’s been a sleepy baby since birth but feeds a lot throughout the day and has surpassed his birth weight but my husband woke me last night to say we need to wake the baby to feed. I said I’d get up and pump and let the baby sleep but he said we shouldn’t let him go over 6 hours without a feed….

Should we wake him? Thoughts below please :)

Help…Normal tantrum or something more?

My daughter is having the worst meltdowns recently. I’m talking to the point where people are starting to stop outside my house and looking in with concern. The anxiety and humiliation leaving the house sometimes is exhausting. Kicking and screaming at the top of her voice in public and having everyone in the street looking at me, is a different kind of embarrassment and guilt. I’ve had a few conversations recently with various people about seeing someone professional about mt daughter’s behaviour. She’s also started using noises and moans to gesture what she wants, coming from an incredibly smart 3 year old who has been speaking full sentences since she was two. We have regressed in verbal communication, and the meltdowns are getting so horrifically bad. She also tugs at her clothes when distressed or pulls on her fingers. There is absolutely ZERO reasoning with her when she is like this, it’s just constant screaming. I’m a first time mum and just at a complete loss.

Breast feeding

I’m expecting in a few months time and want to breast feed (breast and bottle feed). What bottles do you recommend? I formula fed my first daughter and used Dr brown bottles (hated Tommee Tippee and MAM due to tongue tie issues). Is Philips Avent good or Lansinoh? Thank you ☺️
