Severe Anxiety.. please help

Ya

Yashaswi

I am 38 days PP.., and I am in severe anxiety... I keep fearing that something is wrong with my baby... like a stupid person I google symptoms and things she does... and it just spirals from there... Google is an evil place... everytime I google something, it turns into something really nasty and I start spirallin out of control from there.. I keep visualising symptoms that aren't there in my baby.. and keep crying... I don't feel like doing anything... I told my doc she said try to self soothe... I was told by my mom that I have simply lost my mind and gone crazy... I also spoke to my pedi and he says there is all fine with the baby... but I can't stop at all...

I was always a worrier and more of a type A personality but it was never this cray cray...

anyone gone thru this ?? Any advise would help

Also I don't think it's fair for people to turn round and say you're crazy, that's awful. You are in a delicate time after having a child! Please don't listen to the comments, they'll make you feel so much more anxious

Hi girl. So I've never had a baby and I'm only 17 😂😂 but I have had anxiety since four years old so I can understand where you are coming from. Honestly Google is the devil, it'll make you feel like your baby has got every problem imaginable. I guarantee your baby is perfectly healthy. If you have any concerns, just book a doctors appointment. Just having a checkout doesn't hurt anybody. As for anxiety, it makes you have irrational thoughts that make no sense, but they scare you nonetheless. I've had several anxiety disorders in the past. I think the important thing is to identify the fact that the thoughts are irrational. It doesn't work for all people but try taking 10 deep breaths or going outside and counting everything you see of a certain colour. I hope this is even a tiny bit reassuring and I wish you good luck with your baby 😊
