I'm so sorry you're feeling this down. Believe me, I know exactly how you feel. The shaking, the panic attacks, the not eating---I've experienced it all. And for some reason, when this happens, you don't want to be alone, so I understand your need to have someone to be with you. I'm sorry there's no one available right now, but your husband is on his way home and should be there soon!
You are a terrific mother and you will get through this. These feelings WILL PASS. Just keep telling yourself that this is temporary. Your precious kids love you and need you.
You know we would all be there if we could. Just imagine, about 40 women from the IBS board packed into your living room. We would give you big hugs, cry with you, hold and play with your kids, and we would make some food that was so delicious you would not be able to resist it!
Can you imagine us all there? (Do you have enough seating for all of us? Oh heck, we could all just sit on the floor.)
You are an amazing person, and you've been such a source of strength to many of us. We love you and want you to get better soon.
Hang in there! When hubby gets home, fill up the tub and take a bubble bath---or crawl in the bed, if that will make you feel better.
In the meantime, turn on some nice music, call a friend, read a magazine, or heck, read all of our responses, over and over again!
I'll be praying for you. (((Big hugs))))

I'm sorry, I've been very busy at work today and just saw this. I'm so sorry you are feeling bad. Don't ever think you're a bad mother though, I only wish I had a mother as great as you!!
I hope the dr's appt next week goes well and they find a better combination of medications to help you. Is there any way they can see you any earlier?
Hang in there, lots of love and big hugs!

Oh hon! I feel so terrible for you! I hope you are going to be ok!! I don't know what to say except you are a great mom!!! You wouldn't have felt guilty about falling asleep if you weren't. Bad moms would have told their kids to suck it up and their fine without supper. Good mommies apologize for their mistakes and give their kiddos a hug (which I'm sure you did) Bad wives get mad at their husbands and yell when they finally get home. Good wives phone their hubbies and admit they need help from them.
You are a good person, you will be ok. But If I were you - call the doctors as soon as possible and get in there for an appointment - your health cannot wait until the weekend and into next week.
Take care of yourself ASAP.

I think everyone else has said everything I was going to so I'll just repeat that you always have friends here on the boards to support you no matter what.

You are not a failure as a person or a mother! Your kids will be fine. They #1 won't starve cause you fed them late and #2 they obviously knew mommy needed to rest and they behaved since nothing happened. Kids can sense this even if they are young.
So glad hubby came home for you. I know you must have fought yourself with asking him to come home. I would have too but sometimes just having someone around makes one feel much better.
Please, please don't get down on yourself. This is just a bad day. Tomorrow is another day and you are doing the right thing with checking with the doctor about a new dose of medication. He will fix you don't worry!!!! This time next week you'll be feeling much better. Just give yourself some time and some slack!!!!!
Take care of yourself Alica!!!!!!

Alicia,
I'm so sorry you are having a tough time of it. I understand about the panic attacks because I get them, too.
Please take care of yourself.......You are a strong person and will pull yourself out of this. Hopefully the doc will give you some new meds and you will feel so much better.
Hugs Barbie
