Hormonal or circumstantial?

Gu

I am 9 weeks pp. when my son was 2 weeks old he got meningitis and spent time in the hospital. Then at 5 weeks he got RSV and spent some more time in the hospital. The same time he was in the hospital for RSV my husband was also in a hospital 2 hours away. Then we get home and my first dog starts getting sick. We just put him to sleep tonight.

Ever since my dog started getting sick I haven’t hardly slept I keep waking up and crying. While my son was sick I kept crying I just feel like I have spent most of my maternity leave bawling but I’m also an emotional person so these feelings are not necessarily abnormal for me.

I also am constantly on edge with my son. Any time he so much as gets a booger in his nosey chest gets tight and I feel like I’m going to have a panic attack I take his temperature constantly I wake up in the middle of the night and make sure he is still breathing even tho I have an owlet monitor.

We are also very tight on money tighter than anticipated we just spent 500 on our dogs vet costs, lost a weeks pay while my husband was in the hospital, the last 3 weeks of my maternity leave are without pay. I feel very anxious about trying to make it financially for the next few weeks.

I just feel so anxious and sad all the time lately but it makes sense that I would be sad and anxious so I have just been telling my doctor I’m mentally doing good. I can have myself so pulled together then without trigger I just fall apart crying hysterically or getting really anxious. I just feel like I’m going through hell and I want to feel better 😢
