Postpartum Anxiety

Ad

My baby is now three months and I still can’t shake the anxiety. As soon as I left the hospital with my newborn baby it’s like as if this giant cloud of worry came over me and never left. I’m a Christian so I try my best to pray to calm myself but I keep having this fear that something bad is going to happen to my baby. I keep having nightmares that someone will break into my home trying to hurt me and baby or she goes missing. I know as a Christian God is watching over us and protecting us every day from things we don’t even see or know about. It’s just right now I live in a small apartment where it doesn’t take much walking to see the whole place so I feel safe. I’m going to move into a bigger house somewhat soon and I just feel so much anxiety that someone will break in. I know it won’t be like here where I can see everything so I’ve been having anxiety about that. However ever since having a baby my biggest fear is losing her or someone hurting her I just get lost sometimes thinking about all the bad what if’s that can happen.
