I have an anxiety disorder but I'm not on meds. A year and a half ago, I had a panic attack and it felt like a heart attack....I had meds temporarily at that time. I try to work through it in my head...I just had a baby so I'm constantly worried about SIDS and checking to make sure the baby is breathing. I also picture catastrophic things happening..irrational fears of my husband and I dying at the same time in a car wreck so who would take care of my baby? It really takes over your life...I have a postpartum hemmorhoid (sorry if tmi) and I was convinced (still worry) that I had colon cancer and will die leaving my husband with the baby which would be so hard....the worry makes you crazy...at least it does to me. I try to take my mind off of it by watching a funny movie, or smoking a lot of cigarettes. The emotional stress messes with your bowels too...gives me ibs symptoms. Try to find a vice and someone to confide in...

On an interesting note, when I was pregnant (aside from the worry that I would die during childbirth) I didn't have anxiety. It didn't return until about 2months postpartum.
