When 11:59am hits, my boy turns one week old. I have no problem leaving him alone to run to the store and I feel a deep, loving connection. However, I have developed severe anxiety. I am terrified of SIDS. Like beyond stressed over it. I watch him constantly to the point where I am not taking care of myself. I cry over absolutely nothing.

Has anyone else had this? And if you did, was medication effective for you?

I’m not ashamed. I want to get better and chill out. It’s not healthy for me or my relationships.
