Has anyone dealt with post-partum anxiety?

Question

I think I am experiencing post-partum anxiety. I'm not depressed, but my anxiety is out of this world. I don't think it's normal what I am feeling. Has anyone had this?

Answer

🙋🏽 deff!!    I had no idea this existed until I saw an article on this apt matter of fact about it. I even send it to my husband because as I was reading I was like yup that's me yup that's me yup that's me. I'm seriously so over protective for my daughter I think that everything could happen to her. And is my second child, so I know I didn't experience this with my first one 😖

Answer

Yes and I had this with my second as well and it faded after about four weeks. I'm hoping this time it goes away quickly too. My newborn is 13 days old right now and the anxiety really messes with me... especially when I know I am being irrational. I am just so obsessed with keeping him safe and feeling like maybe he is not safe. It's horrible 😭😭😭

Answer

I have it too

Answer

Yes! I am 7 months PP & always am afraid something bad is going to happen to my LO. Like i play these scary scenarios out in my mind so that i can think of ways i would save her if it ever happened. Maybe its my minds way of thinking i can control anything bad from ever happening? Idk but anyways yes! Definitely not depression. Definitely anxiety tho. Its subsided a little with time but its still there 😐 i hear its much less common than PPD
