This was a really great discussion becase I too am a new SAHM. Daughter is 15 months. I agree with mostly everything said here. I belong to MOPS and they are a lifesaver. I also do storytimes at libraries and bookstores to get out. They normally have special storytimes for kids. I've joined a couple moms groups and I go to playdates as well. If I can keep these things going throughout the week I do alot better and have less melt downs. When I slip up and decide to stay in the house more than I should, then melt downs start. I really have to get out daily with my daughter for at least 2 hours a day. I am learning that. I understanding what you need to do as an individual to cope is a good thing. I have struggled with anxiety before my daughter was born. It was worst than this but it's gotten a little better. However I still feel like it has too much control over my life. I looked at Lucinda's program when I first realize I was struggling with anxiety. I didn't get it then. But for some reason today I was compelled to take a step of faith and do the program. I don't know how I'm going to pay for it, but I'm trusting God that He will provide. I have the strong feeling that it's going to help me. I haven't even told my husband because I really want it to be between me and God and I want my husband to see the fruit of it. Sorry about going off on a tangent. I'm just so excited about finally getting the help that I need.

I am a stay at home mom to a 18 month year old. It is not easy at all he is really hiper and is always in things. I find myself getting angry alot plus i have been struggling with anxiety and panic since i was a teen. That doesnt help the situation either. I know how you are feeling. i just order the program today I hope it helps me to deal with this so I can get through this But im keeping the faith and praying.
