I am a mum of 2 with 3rd on the way and i suffer from constant panic attacks i have suspected ptsd with a very long history of problems im currently trying to seek help to regain some normality as i struggle to shower or sleep out of fear ofcourse given all thats going on in the world right now its hard to do much of anything. Is there anyone else out there with a history of abuse and trauma that is doing it tough right now? Appreciate and responses.

Thank you for your reply
I was meant to start counselling but i cant take my kids with me and since they have been sick and in and out of hospital i had to cancel them going into childcare. I think doing something over skype or phone would definitely be ideal i just need to work out how to organise it.
That would be great also thankyou.

Hi @Nutella1
Welcome, I hope you find the support here that I have it's been amazing. I have DID and complex PTSD from childhood abuse. I am struggling with all that is going at the moment, I have just been told that one of my daughters will be self isolating with her boyfriend in the city and that is causing me a lot of stress. I need to know she is safe and I guess because of my own trauma I am very over overprotective of all of my children.
I hope you can arrange some counselling soon. Always hear to listen if you need.

Hi thankyou for your reply if i may ask what is DID? I can relate my kids are only very young but the worrying is never ending with all that is going on especially when my youngest has some current breathing issues already. Hopefully everyone pulls through on the other side of things ok.
