Anyone randomly have panic attacks?

Question

Of all the “bad” things that revolve around “childhood” I seriously just had a breakdown because I self diagnosed my child with autism based on what Google told me, and then I broke down even more cause I started reading a story of a little girl who passed from childhood cancer and it’s like what the heck, now I read up on symptoms of everything and anything. I just want to live in a bubble with my kids and never go out. I feel like a hypochondriac. It usually only happens in burst and my anxiety/fear/nerves clouds everything.

Answer

I have delt with anxiety for most of my life. I hardly ever have panic attacks anymore but I used to and they are awful! You have to stop yourself from going down the rabbit hole, when you notice yourself starting to get worked up over something get your mind busy with something else, turn music on and start moping the floor or go outside and take a walk, it takes practice but you can stop yourself! Your baby is totally fine I’m sure and doesn’t have autism. Don’t let yourself google!! Motherhood is hard and we’ll always worry. But give yourself some slack, you got this!💕

Answer

This happens to me too but was hardest hit when she was first born. I used to sit on my phone for hours reading symptoms and signs of genetic syndromes on google and freaking out over every little thing. 
Still happens in bursts too over random things but just gotta keep reminding myself to not go down that rabbit hole. It’s harder said than done for sure :/

Answer

I think all of us have worried our kids were autistic at some point. It's so common now and any quirky or standoffish trait could seem like autism. I definitely have my hypochondriac moments. I feel ya 😭
