I do. I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I was on medication after Nick was born as PPD really screwed everything up. This time around, even with PPD, I haven't had to go on medication. I have found that a magnesium supplement (I take the powder form) goes a long way to keeping me calm for the day. I also am more active this time around, working out at least once a day. YOGA has been FABULOUS for helping me calm down.
However, they still come on occasion. I have learned some deep breathing techniques to get through anxiety and panic attacks. There are some videos and articles online describing how to do such things as well as books at most libraries. I really encourage you to research that for the actual attacks.
Hang in. Youa re not alone.
