Hi everyone,

I’m writing this cause I have no one to talk to. I can’t afford therapy and I’m just struggling lately.

I had my first baby in March and I struggled with extreme postpartum anxiety and depression. My naturopathic doctor gave me something for it and it was gonna for 4 months or so. Now I’m 7 months postpartum and I will randomly have a deep sad feeling. My chest will feel tight or exhausted and I’ll feel like crying. I always fight the crying.... This isn’t over any reason at all (for the most part)... Today has been particularly bad. Feeling so sad, overwhelmed, thoughts racing, feeling somewhat helpless.. I had a panic attack and felt like I was going to die. I also get very irritated at stuff I wouldn’t typically get mad over.. I want to stop feeling this way. I’m not having suicidal thoughts or anything like that. But I am scared to feel this way. I open up to my husband about this and he’s very loving about it, but he doesn’t say much about it.. he doesn’t know how to help me. My mom seems to think everything is okay and that I can control it... I seriously think this is a hormonal thing... Does anyone have any advice? I feel a little bit alone in this. I don’t want to stay like this or get worse.
