My anxiety is so bad when my 1 year old whines

My anxiety is so bad when my one year old whines...

I see a psychologist for my depression, PTSD, anxiety and panic attacks. I'm trying to do everything possible to help me be a better person and the best mom. But my 1 year old recently started whining ALOT more than usual. Like I'm talking fingernails on a chalkboard whine.
He's been to the doctor and he's fine. Dr says "it's way of communicating".
My question is how am I suppose to get through when he's whining so much and I'm alone with him for 12 hours a day with very little to no support?
Would love people's ideas.....
I've tried pretty much everything when this is occurring, but sometimes it gets so bad I have a panic attack...
I've tried mediation, journaling, listening to relaxing music, having a shower, thought records, deep breathing, positive thinking, anxiety medications at the time of panic, etc

Hi Meesh,

I read once that a baby's cry elicits one of the strongest human responses from those who hear it! I am sure this is by design...so that these little ones get the essentials that they need...

...but at times when the need is less about survival...and more about getting what they simply want...yep, the result can be irritating! ;p

The coping skills you use are great, so keep them up! They are helping, and will continue to do so...

Have you tried teaching your baby sign language? Learning a few signs for his favorite things and most used words could bring your ears some relief! Once he learns them...you could try ignoring the whining and only responding to his signs...this will reinforce postive behavior...and lessen the vocal tantrums.:)

Best wishes for you and little one!
