Am I Going Crazy?

I experienced my first panic attack when I was teaching. I was reading to my students and my left arm & face went numb.

Oh my gosh am I having a stroke? A heart attack?

I felt like I was going to throw up! I remember this moment as if it were yesterday.

 And I still get emotional thinking about it. I can still feel exactly how I felt and that was just one of the many panic attacks I experienced in my career. The fear of the unknown left me paralyzed.

 I struggled for months thinking that I had Multiple Sclerosis and after several MRIs and neuro evaluations everything came back normal and POOF I was “fine”!

Fine…ha!

Fast forward 10 years I got married, had 2 kids and left my teaching career to become a full time stay at home Mom. Little did I know that my chemical imbalance would be triggered by my postpartum hormones and would leave me back in a state of panic and anxiety.

I battled postpartum anxiety, OCD, and panic attacks pretty severely. I remember telling Mike “I was going crazy” and needed to seek medical attention.

It shattered my world…it shattered my life…it shattered my DREAMS! I was just a body with no emotions, no feelings. I was in robot mode trying to survive! I could not function without taking Xanax every 3 hours along with my daily anti-anxiety medication & I was THE frequent flier on webmd! Mike was worried to leave me alone with the kids and didn’t know what he would come home to after work.

Up to my breaking point, I neglected my health. 

I was going through the “stay at home mom life” motions. 

My wrap sheet: 

I had 2 kids, I was tired. I didn’t have enough time, Mike traveled a lot for work, and I loved food! I loved wine! 

I know you are nodding your head in agreement right now because you understand all of this!

I stand here today 15 years later, 2 babies later, free from 15 lbs of anxiety weight. 

I have a much healthier relationship with my anxiety. 

My story of hope & strength turned into a business and a team of women that has allowed me to empower women to transform their lives.
