I'm SAHM to a wonderful 2 yr old. OH goes out to work full time, usual office hours etc. I adore them both.
Recently had crisis of confidence. Not sure who I am anymore - emersing yourself in a 2 yr old's world causes you to end up feeling a bit like a 2 year old yourself. Now, I'm not a 2 year old. I'm a fully grown adult woman but I don't feel very good at what I do. I keep feeling like I need rescuing. I'm having panic attacks every time I go out.
Family are all around the country, none in the town where we live. I have some 'mum' friends and we go to toddler activities but in the last month I even have panic attacks when I go there so we've sort of stopped going.
Dr prescribed beta blockers. Don't really want to go down the pills route. There is a clear emotional problem at work here and as I know what it is I want to eliminate it.
OH won't entertain the idea of moving back to be near my family. It's just not part of his plan but he goes to work full time and talks to adults and is socially ok.
How much should I be able to push to move back or should I just get over it and move on?
