What are the signs of pp anxiety?

Question

I feel like I have it. Possibly mildly. But I can’t stop worrying about every little thing—stressing out, losing sleep, and I can’t calm down no matter what.

Answer

Agreed with pp, it sounds like it. I used to worry too, and I’ve been talking to my therapist and taking vitamins fish oil, calcium, and folic acid. One thing she told me which has really helped is “no amount of anxiety is going to change the outcome” all we can do is love and be there for our little ones- they need us to be strong! 
Do you have anyone you can talk to about it? I find just voicing my worries helps so much. Good luck mama ♥️

Answer

It sounds like you might have it. 
It’s different for everyone. For me, I’d worry about scenarios like my son not napping if we left the house and then having a horrible time getting him down for bedtime so I wouldn’t go places. I’d be super irritable and overwhelmed a good bit of the time but not be willing to do any “chores” to alleviate some of the stress. I’d cry a lot and so on. 
Maybe talk with a counselor or start doing meditations for breathing techniques. Those have helped me some though I’m still a work in progress.

Answer

I would just lie awake waiting my son sleeping incase he stopped breathing I wudnt let anyone look after him even his own dad incase they didn’t do summit I would do when my mam and sister asked to take him out I just totally shut down my heart was racing the panic set straight in like he cudnt go any where with out me then I started getting anxiety about leaving the house with him incase he caught summit are a car crashed in to me incase he started screaming and ppl would think I was a shit mam the list is endless I was like a mad woman finally admitted it to meself I needed help went to the docs they put me on tablets and it has calmed down loads now I feel like a normal mam who worries about normal things however docs have put me on more tablets 7 a day at the min cuz few weeks ago found out my son has a hole in his heart and is needing open heart surgery I can’t even tell you what level my anxiety is at all cuz it’s off the scale x
