If anyone feels that they might have this disorder please talk about it, there is help out there for it. Also, this can affect children as well as adults. Do not be ashamed of it please.

When my first was born I didn’t really think I could be a father I started having panic attacks and feeling low. But then my second was on the way then it got really tough. The mother of my children devolved anxiety her self though pregnancy and never recover, but we both coping. Last summer got really hard for me in work and out.
