It sounds like there are several things going on. Number one is that you are stressed to the max. This can is cause a host of problems including but not limited to: anxiety, panic, OCD and depression. You really need to see a Dr. Medication can help you so much as well as talk therapy. You owe it to yourself and your family to seek help. It is nothing to be ashamed of. Believe me the Dr.'s will not be shocked no matter what you tell the. Feel free to open up about
everything in your life. My guess is that you have alot of feelings that you have been holding in since you were a teenager and it is surfacing as the "other " problems in adulthood.
Edit in reponse to your other questions. There are programs available for people that cannot aford mental health care. In Texas it is MHMR. I am not sure what state you live in. The medicine that they have available is very safe. Some of them work wonders and others are ineffective. You might have to try several before you find the right one for you.
Go to the clinic if that is the only option. The Dr there can help.
This is just a shot in the Dark....but try this number.
They might be able to point you in the right direction.

God Bless!
Umm, I think you definitely have a mental problem. Depression? You are highly paranoid and have some anxiety problems.
Go see a doctor/therapist . You have a serious problem and I believe its called obsessive compulsive disorder. you can get medication for it if you just have your doctor prescribe it.
Sounds like you have mild OCD and generalized anxiety disorder. I have some anxiety issues, and have alot of the same symptoms as you (aspecially the anxiety attacks and extreme paranoia of dying). I am seeing a doctor about this, and there are some very effective medications to help you deal with these kids of issues. Know that you are not alone (I am also a mother and my anxiety attacks started when I lost a baby), and also know that there are ways to fix this. Call your doctor and set up an appointment. I hope you feel better soon. Good Luck!
Your husband should leave you and take the kids before you do something to hurt them.
im 15 and i feel the same as u bit without the 3 kids. all i can say is mabay u can talk to someone. im tryin to tell my mom i want to talk to a psychologist sorry good luck many wishes!!
So I will start with I was the same way. I went through a lot of years of therapy to figure out why I was that way. I finally figured out that I had to much at once going on in my life that caused a WHOLE lot of anxiety/anger! I used to cut myself to get my mine off of what was making me upset. My best advice is to find a therapist that fits YOU! If you don
