Irrational Worry

Hey moms!

I’ve always had anxiety. I’ve been diagnosed with a general anxiety disorder. When I was pregnant I had many fears something would be wrong with the baby. Now that she’s here and she’s perfect my fears are that something is going to happen to her and it’ll be my fault.

I’ve been OCD about mixing her formula and sterilizing ... then I worry I didn’t put the right amount so I’ve been triple checking. We went out on the boat and it was wavy now I’m worried she has a brain damage. We hit a bump in the car and I worry her head got shaken too hard. Once I reassure myself about one thing ... it seems another worry pops into my head . Being home alone on mat leave all day doesn’t seem to help these irrational thoughts ... just wondering if anyone’s feeling the same or what you have done to get help.

Ps- baby is perfectly happy and a good baby she’s not showing any sort of symptoms.

Thanks,

Dayna
