Why am I still so paranoid?

Question

My lo is a year old and I’m still so afraid of sids. I’ve always been deathly afraid of it. She sleeps through the night now and every morning when I wake up and she’s not awake I’m afraid that I’ll walk into her room and she’ll be...I don’t even want to say it. Why am I so afraid of it? What can I do to help ease my paranoia?

Answer

You may be having some postpartum anxiety, maybe speaking to a therapist could help.

Answer

My youngest is 3 1/2 and I still worry.. if I wake up in the middle of the night the first thing I do is check her breathing. For me it’s because I’ve lost a child before (not to sids) and I am just so afraid of something happening but I don’t worry about it with my 8 year old since she’s older so hopefully it will pass. I would talk to your doctor about getting on some anxiety medication, I take antidepressants and they help a little with it!
