[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 48819"] I have a history of depression, anyway, but as easy child was rounding the bend toward healing with his depression, I broke down into the worst, most oppressive depression. I had never even comprehended something of that magnitude. I mentioned in Sheila's post that you hold it together when you have to, but when the stressor is removed, a floodgate is opened. I probably wasn't holding it together all that well, but managed to keep from losing it completely until it was "safe". easy child's hostility, anger and violence would trigger me at times (his father and difficult child's father were both abusive) and I would find myself dissociating. It wasn't until I was in therapy that I knew what to call it, but it was the out of body type experience. I thought I had dealt with all of that, but I had an experience (not kid related) about 2 weeks ago that threw me into a panic attack. Not an "I feel like I'm dying" one, but one where I was lightheaded, dizzy, my breathing was shallow and all logic just escapes you. It was very unnerving to realize that I could still be triggered. I'm going to be talking to my therapist about this on Tuesday. IOW, you're not alone. I already had a history of depression, but never to the magnitude of what I experienced when easy child was ill. I was on AD's at the time it happened, too. I'm glad you're addressing this. (((HUGS))) [/QUOTE]
