Feel like im going crazy

Two months ago. I went off zoloft. Was doing fine but this last week. Bad anxiety. Really bad mood swings. I love my husband and son but being a kom is so stressful. I feel like everyone demands my attention all day and by the.end of the day. Im cashed out. Sometimes I just want to be takin care of. Even just for a little bit. I feel like my stress from day to day might be causing my anxiety. I really.dont want to go back on the.zoloft. would just like to hear from someone that just feels the same way I do to let me kno everything is ok

I'm so sorry that you are feeling this way. :( I have totally been there. Im currently on Zoloft, but I still have horrible anxiety and terrible mood swings. I love my daughter and husband to death, but sometimes I just need a break. I need a little "me" time. Every single day is so difficult and exhausting. Taking care of a baby is so much stressful and mentally exhausting. 

If I was you I would book a massage, yoga class, or exercise class to help you relax. Also, don't be afraid to ask DH to watch the baby and let you take a bubble bath or read a book alone. 
 
If nothing else helps you might want to consider talking to a therapist. Sometimes they are great for teaching relaxation skills and meditation.

I know how you feel! It is super stressful. What you might try is a self-hypnosis MP3 download for stress/anxiety, post partum depression or even just a deep relaxation one.

This company Journeys Inward has really high quality, beautiful recordings that you can download and listen to in bed at night to help you unwind and deeply relax.

I really enjoy them they make me feel like I just had a massage to my soul!
